{"product_id":"9780990937173","title":"The Declaration Of Independence: A Short Explanation","description":"As time goes by, languages change.\u003cbr\u003eWords and the way they are used change and their meanings can change.\u003cbr\u003eWhat sounded normal two hundred years ago can be hard to understand today.\u003cbr\u003eRon Howson has given the clearest explanation I have ever read of the words in the Declaration of Independence. When you read the descriptions of the grievances, you will marvel,\u003cbr\u003eas I did, that our ancestors took so long to rebel.\u003cbr\u003eThey were, as the Declaration states,\u003cbr\u003ereluctant to break from England.\u003cbr\u003eIn their own words, from the Declaration:\u003cbr\u003e\"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes... But ... The history of the present King of Great\u003cbr\u003eBritain is a history of repeated injuries...\u003cbr\u003eall having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states.\"\u003cbr\u003eThe Declaration is not just one of the most important documents ever written for the United States,\u003cbr\u003ebut for the entire world. The Declaration was a bold statement for the Rights of Man.\u003cbr\u003eIt is possibly even more important today than it was then,\u003cbr\u003ewhich is why we should all know what it really meant and what the writers were really saying and why.","brand":"Ron Howson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49792052297968,"sku":"9780990937173","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780990937173","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
