Excerpt from The Principles of the Founders At the impressive New Voters' Festival, held here in Faneuil Hall on Patriots' Day, there was nothing more impressive than the words of St. Paul printed at the head of the program, "I am a citizen of no mean city," emphasized as they were in their application to the young citizens of Boston gathered here for that consecration service by the names of the illustrious men in Boston's history, - Winthrop, Adams, Webster, Quincy, Sumner, Emerson, Phillips Brooks, and their great associates, - inscribed upon the walls. I know of nothing that can more powerfully inspire and command the young man as he enters his political life than the consciousness that he belongs to a renowned city and an illustrious Commonwealth, and that he takes his place in the privileged ranks of a procession conspicuous and honored in history and among men. "I am a citizen of no mean city"; "I am a Roman!" - how proudly the words ring out from the lips of Paul of Tarsus! When he said, "I am a Roman," Paul declared himself simply a citizen of the Roman empire. How much prouder was the word upon the lips of Cicero or Caesar, citizens of the great city itself! "I am an Athenian!" - how much the word meant in the mouth of Pericles or of Demosthenes! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A historian’s “revealing and much-needed retelling of the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the events that led up to it” (William D. Watkins, author of The New Absolutes). Tying American history to our current political climate, The Founders’ Revolution is designed to help readers understand the principles embedded in the Declaration of Independence. The book unpacks the intent of the Founding Fathers in drafting the document, and the historical circumstances surrounding its development. Every charge and every paragraph of the Declaration of Independence is discussed with supporting evidence coming from the original words of the Founding Fathers and other original source documents. The Founders’ Revolution also makes astute comparisons between actions taken by America’s current federal government and those taken by the King of England at the time of the Declaration, showing how our founding document and its principles are still applicable today. In this revealing history, readers will rediscover the forgotten treasures of the Declaration of Independence, recognizing the dedication of the Founding Fathers to the principles written down.

New York Times Bestseller Editors' Choice —New York Times Book Review "Ricks knocks it out of the park with this jewel of a book. On every page I learned something new. Read it every night if you want to restore your faith in our country." —James Mattis, General, U.S. Marines (ret.) & 26th Secretary of Defense The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author offers a revelatory new book about the founding fathers, examining their educations and, in particular, their devotion to the ancient Greek and Roman classics—and how that influence would shape their ideals and the new American nation. On the morning after the 2016 presidential election, Thomas Ricks awoke with a few questions on his mind: What kind of nation did we now have? Is it what was designed or intended by the nation’s founders? Trying to get as close to the source as he could, Ricks decided to go back and read the philosophy and literature that shaped the founders’ thinking, and the letters they wrote to each other debating these crucial works—among them the Iliad, Plutarch’s Lives, and the works of Xenophon, Epicurus, Aristotle, Cato, and Cicero. For though much attention has been paid the influence of English political philosophers, like John Locke, closer to their own era, the founders were far more immersed in the literature of the ancient world. The first four American presidents came to their classical knowledge differently. Washington absorbed it mainly from the elite culture of his day; Adams from the laws and rhetoric of Rome; Jefferson immersed himself in classical philosophy, especially Epicureanism; and Madison, both a groundbreaking researcher and a deft politician, spent years studying the ancient world like a political scientist. Each of their experiences, and distinctive learning, played an essential role in the formation of the United States. In examining how and what they studied, looking at them in the unusual light of the classical world, Ricks is able to draw arresting and fresh portraits of men we thought we knew. First Principles follows these four members of the Revolutionary generation from their youths to their adult lives, as they grappled with questions of independence, and forming and keeping a new nation. In doing so, Ricks interprets not only the effect of the ancient world on each man, and how that shaped our constitution and government, but offers startling new insights into these legendary leaders.

The United States Constitution is like a new musical composition that contains familiar notes and chords but nonetheless strikes the ear as highly original and fresh.

Its blend of six important principles renders it one of the most unique and exceptional creations in the annals of human history.
