American democracy is under authoritarian attack. This essay reasserts the origins and history of our founding principles so that you may be better able and more inclined to defend them from that attack. As the pamphleteer of the American Revolution Thomas Paine put it “These are the times that try men’s souls.” To be worthy of our democracy we must be willing to fight for its survival. The object of this essay’s inquiry is a set of ideas — the principles written into the Declaration of Independence — the self-evident truths of universal equality based on inalienable natural rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness under governance by consent of the governed. The essay’s premise is that a basic grasp of humankind’s quest to extract these principles from more than twenty centuries of hard experience can inspire a renewed dedication to them.
