    The U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence present many ideas which can be traced back to the time of classical antiquity. Many of the concepts within the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence can be linked to ideas that were present in ancient Greece and Rome. These ideas and concepts have helped form our society into what it is today. In Article 1 of the Constitution it states that, the House of Representatives and the Senate have all legislative powers. They have the power to pass the laws that control and influence our society. In history, the Romans had a system similar to this. Their government consisted of an Assembly, Senate and a Consul which controlled their society. A second concept can be found within the first amendment in the Bill of Rights, it states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” (amend. I). This grants United States citizens religious freedom. Despite of the fact that the Roman Empire was not religiously tolerant until the reign of Constantine the Great, there was a point where Roman citizens had religious freedom. Another parallel between America’s government and the worlds of classical Greece and Rome would be in the Writ of Habeas Corpus. It is a common idea that was first instituted by Emperor Justinian can be found in the sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Another idea found within the Declaration of Independence, the idea 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,” (line 7, Declaration of Independence) also finds its roots in the classical world. The concepts within this quote mirror some of the component of Greek Stoicism. They believed that all men were created equal and because of that we are all brothers. The last concept deals with the right of the people to alter or…

    Thought a relatively young nation, the fact that the same form of government under the same constitution has been in place for nearly all of the nation's history is viewed as exceptional by many. However, this may also be viewed as an explanation for the existence of exceptionalism. American culture is inextricably linked to its government because the culture lacks the experience of other governmental forms. The Declaration of Independence of 1776 drew deep inspiration from Enlightenment political thought in justifying the colonies' quest for independence. The document asserted, "All men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of…

    The United States was founded with the intent that class distinction and rigid social structure were the things left behind in the old world. Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness were the basis that created the American dream from the very beginning. The state where people face promise of political democracy, wide range of civil liberties, opportunity for economic prosperity, and equality between each and every citizen. “Government of the people, by the people, and for the people” was the belief that led the Founding fathers away from oligarchy and self-managing systems.…

These words were written into the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson in 1776.

    Is The American Dream Dead

    Historian James Truslow Adams is credited for being the first popularizing the idea of the American dream in his book The Epic of America (1931). He characterizes the American dream as "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” But the same idea existed since the colonist times. In 1630 John Winthrop give a sermon to his fellow Puritan colonists in which he detailed his vision of a society in which everyone would have a chance to prosper, as long as they all worked together and followed Biblical teachings. Eventually, the hope for equality of opportunity evolved in colonists' mind into a God-given right. More than a hundred years later Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence asserted that every American – except the slaves – have the right to "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." As grew America in the 19th century, so did the number…

    Liberty And Equality

    • 4 Pages

    Modern thought tells the story of liberty, rights, and equality for all, but this is just a result of hundreds of years’ worth of evolution of thought, the purveyors of these political ideologies implanted these ideas into the basic fabric of the American thought process. It has become so ingrained that Americans are lazy with these ideas, and anytime separate states where this is not the case are mentioned, Americans have a difficult time wrapping their minds around them. These concepts of Liberty and Equality are simultaneously simple and complex, and can be paradoxically argued back and forth, but the real importance in them is derived ultimately from those they blanket with their definitions.…

    Some time ago, in his "A Moment of Hope" radio commentary, a local preacher spoke of the power of words and how, if we want our lives to be hopeful, we need to keep our speech positive. He then quoted Proverbs 18:21 as wisdom on the subject: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit."…
