Independence Day – An Investment in America
When those 56 men signed their name to the Declaration of Independence, they were investing not only in their future, but the future of what became the United States of America.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Declaration of Independence
Yes, they invested their fortunes to obtain their independence, but they also invested their lives and their honor. As we celebrate our independence, are we willing to invest in America’s future?
Investing in Liberty
And since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.
George Washington’s First Inaugural Address, 1789
I know it doesn’t seem like it, but the future of America is in your hands. The freedoms and liberty you enjoy tomorrow will be based on those you protect today. And the freedoms your children and grandchildren enjoy will be those they inherit from you. So how are you investing in not only your future, but that of your family?
When we hear people talk about investing, it usually involves money. The Biden Administration talks about investing in our nations’ infrastructure. Many organizations ask for people to invest in the work that they are doing. But how do we invest in liberty and freedom? John Jay knew the answer.
Every member of the State ought diligently to read and to study the constitution of his country, and teach the rising generation to be free. By knowing their rights, they will sooner perceive when they are violated, and be the better prepared to defend and assert them.
John Jay, First Chief Justice of the United States
John Jay not only accomplished many things in his life, he contributed greatly to American liberty. He helped negotiate and sign the treaty of Paris that ended the Revolutionary War, he helped draft the Constitution in the Continental Congress, he wrote several of the Federalist Papers, he was the second Governor of New York State, and he was the first Chief Justice of the United States. So I think he knows a thing or two about investing in liberty. What did John Jay say we should do to invest in our liberty? Read and study the Constituiton, and teach the rising generation to be free.
If you are ready to invest in the future of America, The Constitution Study is here to help.
The Constitution Study
Founded in 2014, The Constitution Study helps everyday Americans follow John Jay’s advice and invest in their future. With articles, videos, and a podcast, I look at the what is happening in America today from a constitutional point of view. I help show that you don’t have to be a judge or lawyer to understand and apply the supreme law of the land. Everything on The Constitution Study website is free for you to use and share, to help you invest in your future.
As part of my mission to invest in the education of others, I am putting on a Knowing Your Rights tour. This group of meeting is designed to help people recognize how their rights have been violated and how to defend and assert them properly. The events are organized by local leaders. You can find out more are the tour, see our current schedule, and even request that I visit your town, all at the tour’s webpage.
I do not charge anything to speak at these events. If you would like to help me invest in the education of more Americans, please consider supporting the tour. Your donations will not only help defer the costs of current events, but help me add future dates as well.
The Constitution Scholars
A subsidiary of The Constitution Study is The Constitution Scholars. This site is for people who want to learn how to read and study the Constitution better. Registration is free, and gives you access not only to a library of books, videos, and classes, but to groups of other scholars where we can all share our knowledge, our love for this country, and invest in each other to help secure America’s freedom. For those who want to learn how to teach others, there is a mentorship program. Starting as an Apprentice, you will not only learn more about the Constitution, but how to study it for yourself. As you progress to Journeyman and Master, your skills development will focus on learning how to share what you have learned and how to teach others.
I want to thank everyone who has invested in the future of freedom and liberty in America.
