Following the Renaissance, democracy was still considered a
dangerous form of government. Democracy was often regarded as a
fool's folly and a madman's paradise. The well-wishers of the
Republican Government would have fanciful debates in intellectual
circles, but paternal monarchies dominated the western and eastern
world. Yet in a heroic and herculean way, a group of Anglo-Saxons,
who grew up under proud monarchies, rose to dethrone the English
Crown and to establish the greatest democracy in history. What
theories inspired these men? Why didn't they just simply create an
American King? Or better yet, make themselves kings? The answers to
these questions lie in the eloquent and exact writings of great
American Founders, Presidents, and Enlightened Philosophers such
as: James Madison, George Clinton, Edmund Randolph, Thomas Paine,
Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Patrick Henry, John Adams,
Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Rush, John Hancock, John Jay, Cicero,
Aristotle, John Locke, Hugo Grotius, John Winthrop, Franklin
Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, Ronald Reagan and
more. Unlike other rulers, American rulers are bound to the law.
There is no doubt that the Founding of America is an event of
unparalleled greatness. This book allows the reader to share in the
dreams and thoughts of these great men, in their own words, and
allows the reader to draw informed conclusions that they surmise
from reading the primary documents.
