The Founders' Key

The Divine and Natural Connection Between the Declaration and the Constitution and What We Risk by Losing It

By: Dr. Larry Arnn

Narrated by: Van Tracy

Today the integrity and unity of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are under attack by the Progressive political movement. And yet, writes Larry P. Arnn:

"The words of the Declaration of Independence ring across the ages. The arrangements of the Constitution have a way of organizing our actions so as to produce certain desirable results, and they have done this more reliably than any governing instrument in the history of man. Connect these arrangements to the beauty of the Declaration and one has something inspiring and commanding."

From Chapter 2, The Founders’ Key

Dr. Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, reveals this integral unity of the Declaration and the Constitution. Together, they form the pillars upon which the liberties and rights of the American people stand. United, they have guided history's first self-governing nation, forming our government under certain universal and eternal principles. Unfortunately, the effort to redefine government to reflect "the changing and growing social order" has gone very far toward success. Politicians such as Franklin Roosevelt found ways to condemn and discard the Constitution and to redefine the Declaration to justify government without limit. As a result, both documents have been weakened, their influence diminished, and their meaning obscured - paving the way for the modern administrative state, unaccountable to the will of the people.

The Founders' Key is a powerful call to rediscover the connection between these two mighty documents, and thereby restore our political faith and revive our free institutions.

We the People…

A full explanation of the two documents that our Founding Fathers authored that have been the bedrock foundation for the USA. The book is also followed up the historical documents that can be read in full with a number of Federalist papers all which were written by James Madison. A forefather of the independence from Great Britain, author of the Constitution, and the fourth POTUS. No matter how old they are they, these documents cannot be ignored. They are sacred to our republic. They are constantly debated by the progressives of history and of current legislative bodies to be considered as outdated relics of history and need to be reformed. This is just the ideal of a platitude which cannot occur. The amendment process was used to repair the changes of time to improve the bolster of one of these documents to continue to stand the test of time. These documents are as relative today as they were when they were written. Also, to try and refute them and then use their scholarship when it is considered advantageous to one own’s need to do so is heresy. This is not how it works. These documents are sacred to not only our government, but our liberty as a representative republic. This book certainly provides the deep dive into the definition of these documents in a way only Dr. Arn can. A true expert in the Constitution and the DOI. A well done book that every American should read.

A Beautiful Reaffirmation of the Forgotten Principles of the American Founders

Larry Arnn shines a spotlight on the importance & harmony of the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution.

He digs into how these two documents compliment each other and the founders reasoning behind them.

The book expertly shows why America has been so successful and just how far we’ve strayed from our roots.

Awesome insights from Dr. Arnn

The insights that Dr. Arnn brings as a scholar and student of American history is illuminating. He touches on the humanity of the founding fathers in relation to the constitution and declaration of independence.

Linking Declaration and Constitution.

An excellent discussion that shows us how far we have drifted and the threat we face, particularly from the unelected bureaucrats. 🙏🇺🇸

Absolutely essential reading!

This book will make you happy and at the same time it will make you sad. You’ll be happy that your knowledge and understanding of America’s government has been greatly expanded, while at the same time you’ll be sad that your education system has failed you and millions of other people by wasting our time teaching us about many trivial things, and not teaching us the essential truths you just learned from this book.

MUST READ

This book ought to be mandatory in all public schools in the US. I wish I could attend Hillsdale physically, but due to my circumstances I can’t. As trucker, I will listen to this over and over, God bless.
