"We Still Hold These Truths..."

“Rediscovering Our Principles, Reclaiming Our Future“  by Ryan T. Anderson

The review in National Review starts out with “For many today, the American Revolutionary was primarily a military campaign.  But the ‘real American Revolution’, John Adams insisted, ‘was in the minds and hearts of the people,’ transforming their ‘principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections.’  According to Alexander Hamilton, America was to be the experiment that revealed ‘whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection ad choice, or whether they are foreever destined to depend for the political consititutions on accident and force.’”
