Creating the Declaration of Independence Quotes

“The Declaration of Independence announced the establishment of a country that would be organized around shared ideas, not the exercise of raw force and power.”
― David J. Shestokas, Creating the Declaration of Independence

“The Declaration of Independence began to change acceptance of the idea that there were some entitled to be the masters of others, an idea that had permeated the human experience for 10,000 years. The change remains incomplete, but there has been monumental progress when one balances the 240 years since the Declaration against all of prior human history.”
