Library of Congress Issues New America250 Podcast Series on Founding Documents
Jeanne Dennis, senior counsel of legal programs and initiatives for the Library of Congress, writes the following in a guest post for the Law Librarians of Congress’ In Custodia Legis blog:Happy Birthday, America, from the Constitution Annotated! To celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence, join Our Constitution in examining the Declaration of Independence’s reasons for revolution and how the problems of government that these grievances illustrate inform the Constitution in a new podcast series, From Grievance to Governance: How the Declaration of Independence Informs the Constitution. While the Declaration of Independence is most famous for its soaring language, ‘that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness,’ equally worthy of attention is its list of how King George III had established ‘an absolute Tyranny over these States.’ These grievances not only provide a snapshot of the historical events that propelled the colonies to revolution, but they also raise questions about how to best secure those unalienable Rights so cherished by the Founding Fathers. For more information, read the blog post.
