Historic Impact
Os Declaration
Was 'Startling'
The right of all man to "IHa,
liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness" is being endangered by
the deadweod thinking of
many who consider the Dec
laration to be little more than
an idealistic cliche. Yet, since
the turn of this century, the
world has fought two wars be
cause its people wanted to be
free of despots and authoritar
ian governments. Tragically,
the issue still is not resolved.
Some day it may be. But, as
the following editorial remarks
try to point out, that day will
not come until we ell affirm
and reaffirm our faith in the
principles that motivated the
creators of the United States
Declaration of Independence in
1776.
MOST PEOPLE today coni!der
the Declaration of Indepen
dence a historical move by which
this country set forth its vow for
independence, but lack the imagi
nation to understand that in the
year 1776 it was a startling declara
tion. In fact, with the possible ex
ception of the Bible, and the Meg
na Charta in 1219, it la one of the
most astonishing documents ever
published by man.
Look at it from the viewpoint
that up until that time in recorded
history no group of men had gath
ered upon the face of the earth and
declared they would rule them
selves, that they were capable at
ruling themselves.
Before that the ruling of a nation
was concentrated in the hands of a
few men. The masses were not
capable of ruling—that had been
the philosophy of governments
since the beginning of time.
Then, suddenly, a group of men
met In Philadelphia, in a raw and
untried country, and issued a docu
ment that bluntly avowed: people
have the right to overthrow the gov
ernment under which they live; they
have a right to alter or abolish any
government that does not operate
for their good and happiness. That
is a startling declaration.
Thus an experiment began that
succeeded and grew. Succeeded ao
well, in fact, that it came to be re
garded as commonplace. And today
the Declaration of Independence is
thought of by school children as a
musty document which many of
them are forced to memorize and
find boring to read. United States
citizens have accepted without res
ervation the idea that all peoples
have a right to overthrow, abolish
and alter any government under
which they live.
• • •
•pHE TIMES In which the men
lived who wrote and signed the
Declaration were troubled times,
much as they are today. Men
throughout the world were demand
v ing freedom of action and thought.
An Englishman, Dr. Diehard
Price, at the conclusion of the Rev
olutionary War, wrote: •‘Perhaps
I do not go too far when 1 say that,
next to the introduction of Christian
ity among mankind, the American
revolution may prove the most im
portant step in the progressive
course of human improvement.”
Dr. Price was correct It was the
step that started the hurftm race
on a new trend of thought—freedom
for all.
* • •
||ND the time may be coming
**■ when the peoples of all the world,
not just a nation, will issue their
declaration of Independence end
no patlon will enslave another ?r
force its conception at government
on its neighbor. That too, will be a
startling document..,,, . j
.John Adkftif, who helped com
pose the Declarktlon said: ’The
'Revolution was affected before the
.war. .commenced. The Revolution
was in the hearts and hi]&4e at the
' people.”
