The Founders' Key By Larry P. Arnn
Like many Americans we believe that America is at a crossroads and that this November’s election will be one of the most important in our nation’s 220 year existence. Over the next 10 days we will present Hillsdale College’s 10-part lecture series presented by Dr. Larry P. Arnn at The Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship of Hillsdale College. This lecture took place on December 2, 2011 at The Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center in Washington D.C.
Dr. Arnn believes historians today commonly claim that the Constitution of 1787 marked a break with the Declaration of Independence of 1776, even speaking of two foundlings. Arnn contends this is both false and destructive of liberty. In fact, the principles of the Declaration command the arrangements of the Constitution, and the arrangements of the Constitution embody the principles of the Declaration. It is critical today to regain an understanding and love of the unity of these two grand documents.
We hope you will join us over the next 10-days and watch these very important lectures, reacquaint yourself with the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and strongly consider what you learn when choosing a candidate to represent your interests in November and other elections between now and then. Here is “The Founders' Key" - Larry P. Arnn, the first lecture in this series.
