Why are we free? Why do we have laws? Why is our system better than any others? These questions and more are answered by taking a look at the principles that guided the Founders when they wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Knowing why you have freedom is almost as important as defending those freedoms. Understanding these principles will help you defend our God-given freedoms and rights from those that wish to take them away. It also exposes the insidious attacks used by those who would re-enslave us. Political parties come and go. Power shifts and changes based on elections. But our freedoms must not become a casualty of politics or power struggles.
