Historical Documents
The documents that are a vital part of this country's history and the basis of the laws
this country is built upon are too frequently ignored and IMO their original intent
in some areas is being changed.
The Bill
of Rights, as part of our Constitution,
is the document most frequently
quoted when
speaking of our liberties and freedoms but the rights and
liberties
granted in that document are being infringed upon more and more often
by our government
and its agencies.
In my travels
on the WWW I have certainly come across some enlightening facts.
I found some
documents that I never even knew existed, that had a great deal to do
with the building
of this great nation.
Check some
of them out, relearn some things as I did. This country was
not founded
as nor ever meant to be a democracy, it was founded as
a
REPUBLIC!!! That's one of the things that make the United States
unique and
different
from all the other countries of the world.
