In a world run by monarchs, the United States announced an unprecedented democratic experiment whose success was far from guaranteed. What does it take to write a document like the Declaration of Independence in a time of challenging uncertainty? What can we learn from it 250 years later? Political scientist Danielle Allen explores the bold minds and historical circumstances that resulted in one of the greatest political writings in history.
Many leaders of the French Revolution admired the Declaration of Independence but were also interested in the new American state constitutions. The inspiration and content of the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen emerged largely from the ideals of the American Revolution. Lafayette prepared its key drafts, working closely in Paris with his friend Thomas Jefferson. It also borrowed language from George Mason's Virginia Declaration of Rights. The declaration also influenced the Russian Empire, and it had a particular impact on the Decembrist revolt and othe Russian thinkers.
Caesar is the ruling power When the pharisees asked Jesus is lawful to pay taxes He.showed them the coin With caesars head The colonists refused to pay Taxes to the british rulers
@@angloaust1575 so what are you saying the colonists are blaspheming with Jesus said?? Jesus was talking about taxes and not total dominance and control!!
