About this product
A Pocket-Sized Hardcover Edition of our nation's founding document. 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 that formed the backbone of American'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 the breaking of ties with "Mother England" and the formation of a new country.
 
This gift edition, printed in two colors on acid-free paper, contains illustrations and biographies of the signers alongside the document itself. Hardcover | 4.25 X 6.75 | 36 pages
