Newly reformatted with: Navigational Table-of-Content Increased readability Improved graphics Internal links to references such as: Declaration of Rights of 1689 Declaration of Independence Constitution of the United States of America Bill of Rights Liberty Inherited will take you beyond 1776--beyond the original thirteen colonies--and across the Atlantic to discover the English principles that made America a unique and exceptional nation. By reading Liberty Inherited you will learn the historical origins of principles such as limited government, individual freedom, private property, and free-market economics. Furthermore, it tells the exciting tale of the political struggles of early modern England and how they set the stage for the success of the American Revolution and of what was to be called the 'American experiment.' Unlike many books on the subject Liberty Inherited accepts the reality that the Founding Fathers did not create the United States out of thin air, but established it on the 'rights of Englishmen." And while it is a story of America, it is also the story of England and the English-speaking world. This book is a refreshing antidote to the prevailing historical schools on both sides of the Atlantic. - Daniel Hannan (MEP, Columnist, Author) John Hancock has written a book that should be required reading for any student of the Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution.- Stefan Bartelski (Political Commentator, Radio Talk Show Host)Read more
