Product Description
This hardcover pocket-sized edition of The Declaration of Independence is perfect for students and travelers! The book contains the full text of the Declaration of Independence along with illustrations and biographies of the signers in a small size that easily fits in a backpack or carry-on bag.
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence summarizes America's founding political philosophy. At once a cherished symbol of liberty and an expression of Jefferson's monumental talents as a writer, the document captures in unforgettable phrases the ideals of individual liberty and formed the backbone of America's Revolutionary movement. In setting forth these self-evident truths alongside a list of grievances against King George's Britain, the Declaration of Independence justified breaking ties with Mother England and forming a new country.
