The Declaration of Independence

• Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and
  June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is
  at once the nation's most cherished symbol of
  liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument.
  Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds
  and hearts of the American people. The political
  philosophy of the Declaration ideals of
  individual liberty had already been expressed by
  John Locke and the Continental philosophers. What
  Jefferson did was to summarize this philosophy in
  "self-evident truths" and set forth a list of
  grievances against the King in order to justify
  before the world the breaking of ties between the
  colonies and the mother country.

• The Great Seal was carefully designed by the
  Founding Fathers to symbolize the United States
  to the world and to the future. It is America's
  symbolic mission statement, created by the people
  who gave us our freedom.
• Although the eagle side quickly became popular,
  the reverse side remained obscure until it
  appeared on the one-dollar bill in 1935.
  Consequently, the image of the pyramid and
  radiant eye is usually only associated with
  financial matters.

21
The Constitution of the United States of America

• We the people of the United States, in order to
  form a more perfect union, establish justice,
  insure domestic tranquility, provide for the
  common defense, promote the general welfare, and
  secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and
  our posterity, do ordain and establish this
  Constitution for the United States of America.

The Star-Spangled Banner

• Flying above Fort McHenry at Baltimore when the
  British attacked it on September 13, 1814.
  Francis Scott Key, a lawyer from Washington had
  gone aboard a British ship seeking the release of
  a friend held prisoner. He was detained
  throughout the night. The sight of the American
  flag still flying over the fortress the next
  morning inspired Key to write what, in 1931,
  became our National Anthem. The original Ft.
  McHenry flag is displayed in the Smithsonian
  Institution in Washington. Its design, born with
  the second flag act on January 13, 1794, is the
  only one ever to have more than thirteen stripes.
