Constitutional Fulfillment of Declaration of Independence

The Idaho Humanities Council and New Knowledge Adventures present this America 250th Anniversary presentation. In June 1776, the Continental Congress formed a drafting committee to compose a “common sense” explanation, in “terms so plain and firm, as to command assent for why the American colonies should dissolve all political connection” with Great Britain. What are these foundational principles and what have they meant to Americans and other peoples living under the burden of oppression and ignorance? How has the Declaration of Independence inspired Americans and others to overturn the power of tyrants and to fight for equality? Dr. Adler will discuss the Declaration of Independence and what it has meant to the United States and to the world. This is a free event.
