Ep. 179 – The Conscience of America – the Declaration of Independence!

Regular followers of Constituting America understand our appreciation for the Declaration of Independence as one of the most groundbreaking documents ever written.  Did you know this document was crafted as a logical argument listing both major and minor premises against the Crown making the case for colonial independence?  It also illustrates three levels of justice: natural law, legal justice and what can best be described as justice related to conscience.  Joining our all-star student panel, we are excited to have William Morrisey, former Professor at Hillsdale College returning as our special guest as we discuss this historic document as America's conscience.
