The Declaration of Independence, The U.S. Constitution, and The Bill of Rights, are referred to as "America's Documents of Freedom."
Emerging new nations are referencing these documents as they attempt to create their own governenment based on the concept of liberty.
It took the formation of the United States and these documents to make "Liberty" a reality, and not just a concept.
I'm a High School Teacher up here in New England, and not a day goes by that I don't remind my students what a miracle to mankind the U.S.A. is, and how precious our Documents of Freedom are to the entire world.............................I wish our leaders felt the same.
