Today the integrity and unity of the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution are under attack by the Progressive political
movement. And yet, writes Larry P. Arnn:
"The words of the Declaration of Independence ring across the
ages. The arrangements of the Constitution have a way of organizing
our actions so as to produce certain desirable results, and they
have done this more reliably than any governing instrument in the
history of man. Connect these arrangements to the beauty of the
Declaration and one has something inspiring and commanding."
From Chapter 2, "The Founders' Key"
Dr. Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, reveals this integral
unity of the Declaration and the Constitution. Together, they form
the pillars upon which the liberties and rights of the American
people stand. United, they have guided history's first
self-governing nation, forming our government under certain
universal and eternal principles. Unfortunately, the effort to
redefine government to reflect "the changing and growing social
order" has gone very far toward success. Politicians such as
Franklin Roosevelt found ways to condemn and discard the
Constitution and to redefine the Declaration to justify government
without limit. As a result, both documents have been weakened,
their influence diminished, and their meaning obscured--paving the
way for the modern administrative state, unaccountable to the will
of the people.
"The Founders' Key" is a powerful call to rediscover the
connection between these two mighty documents, and thereby restore
our political faith and revive our free institutions.
