This three-book set includes the three most historic founding documents of the United States: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America, and the Bill of Rights.
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence summarizes America’s founding political philosophy and captures the ideals of individual liberty that formed the backbone of the Revolutionary movement. It justifies the breaking of ties with Britain and the formation of a new country.
The Constitution of the United States of America, signed on September 17, 1787, outlines the powers and responsibilities of the three chief branches of the Federal Government and the basic rights of citizens. This beautiful gift edition includes the complete text of the Constitution and all its amendments.Â
The United States Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution, limits federal government powers and protects citizens’ rights. Introduced in 1789 by James Madison, they took effect on December 15, 1791, after ratification by three-fourths of the states. A central role in American law, it symbolizes the nation’s freedoms and culture. This beautiful gift edition includes the Bill of Rights text alongside its historical context.
