This Independence Day celebration episode starts with a 2 minute group recitation of an abridged version of the Declaration of Independence.
It was done using all original wording, skipping some phrases, to create a quick, easy to understand version intended to get across the essence of what the founders said on July 4, 1776. Two minutes of dedicated time and most people should understand the gist of it.
The Declaration recital is followed by Keith discussing what the Declaration means, its history, why the founders dissolved all ties with the King of England in 1776, and its Natural Law justification.
The episode closes with noting that some of the reasons the founders abolished their form of government and created a new one apply today. As the Declaration says, "let facts be submitted to a candid world".
Does the Declaration's listed grievance "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance" sound familiar? Keith notes he doesn't like that either.
The founders provided a mechanism for the people, through their States, to alter the form of government using Article V of the Constitution. Please see https://conventionofstates.com/?ref=32551 for how the people can return D.C. to the limited and expressly delegated roles the founders intended when they wrote the Declaration of Independence.
Thomas Jefferson altered his form of government, and in doing so showed us how and why we should do so too.
