Ascent to Greatness - Chapter Seven - Raymond F McNair - 1976

Raymond F McNair

Most Americans know little or nothing about their country's first written Constitution. They could probably not even tell you what it was called. America's Declaration of Independence, which was approved on the 4th of July, 1776,was not a constitution. It did not set up a Government over the Thirteen Colonies, or as they came to be known, the thirteen states. It merely announced that the Thirteen Colonies had dissolved all ties with the Mother Country, and were taking their rightful place among the nations as a free, independent nation. But no nation can survive, much less thrive, unless it has some kind of active government. Without a viable government, any nation will descend into chaos and anarchy. Government is as vital to a national body as air is to the human body! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
