About this ebook

The Founding Fathers of the United States of America created the first free people in modern times. They wrote a new kind of Constitution which is now the oldest in existence. They built a new kind of commonwealth designed as a model for the whole human race. They believed it was thoroughly possible to create a new kind of civilization; giving freedom, equality, and justice to all.

The Founders created a new cultural climate that gave wings to the human spirit. They built a free-enterprise culture to encourage industry and prosperity. They gave humanity the needed ingredients for a gigantic 5,000-year leap in which more progress has been made in the past 200 years than all of prior recorded human history. All of this came about because of 28 basic principles the Founders discovered, upon which all free nations must be built in order to succeed.

This eBook includes the original index, footnotes, table of contents and page numbering from the printed format, and also new illustrations.

Ratings and reviews

Very awesome and eye opening, truly God was amongst our forefathers to give them the foresight of what would come. An in depth look with actual quotes and facts from the men who created our constitution. Not enough room to say how profound this is. A MUST READ

This book helped chsnge my understanding of the constitution of the United States forever. Not the constitution only, but the reasoning and wisdom behind why it is the way it is, and why so many of today's popular social and political concepts don't work.

If you want one book for your library other than the Bible, The Federalist Papers, Common Sense, and Democracy in America, this is the book to start with in order to undersand America.
