The book examines the origin of the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence. It demonstrates how the Constitution was designed to preserve those ideals. And it identifies the fundamental values that must accompany freedom in any republic in order to sustain it. Based on the writings and speeches of the \u003cb\u003eFounding Fathers\u003c\/b\u003e, the observations of \u003cb\u003eAlexis de Tocqueville\u003c\/b\u003e, and the critical works of \u003cb\u003eJohn Locke\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eCharles de Montesquieu\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eWilliam Blackstone\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe American Ideology\u003c\/i\u003e serves as an authoritative study on the foundation of American liberty. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe American Ideology\u003c\/i\u003e also sheds light on the means by which the federal government has since subverted American liberty. It identifies the points in American history when the government has departed from its founding principles. It explains how the federal government's commerce and taxing powers under the Constitution have been stretched so far that any kind of individual activity can now be taxed and regulated. And thanks to the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the legality of \"Obamacare,\" the federal government now has free reign to coerce individual behavior--it can tax and regulate inactivity. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen this regulatory state is compared against the Founding Fathers' original design, it is clear that the federal government's authority today is overbearing, unnatural, and unconstitutional. As \u003cb\u003eBrian Vanyo\u003c\/b\u003e writes in \u003ci\u003eThe American Ideology\u003c\/i\u003e, there is a way for change to prevail--for the people to recover their sovereignty and restore their natural rights. Using the political philosophy that inspired the American Revolution, there is a way for the people to win their independence once again. But they must first arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 356\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9.1 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486653857970,"sku":"9780983193302","price":43.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/4fa8af07c11a24f42d5238bb8ddccb4c.webp?v=1779314666","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-american-ideology-taking-back-our-country-with-the-philosophy-of-our-founding-fathers-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
