Excerpt from The Second Declaration of Independence: Or a Suggested Emancipation Proclamation From the Liquor Traffic
The Declaration of Independence, the Federal Constitution, and the several state constitutions are based upon the principles of the theistic theory of government. Daniel Webster said, This Country can exist based only on the principles Of the Christian religion. We acknowledge Christ in nearly every book that is printed and on nearly every tomb stone.
Saul of Tarsus, the greatest lawyer that was ever born, said, Let every soul be subject to the higher powers; for there is no power but of God. The powers that be are ordained of God. We do not have to be lawyers to comprehend the fact that so long as we acknowledge God as the Supreme Being, we have no right to put upon the statute books any laws that are contrary to His laws. God holds a nation responsible for the commission of a sin, just as much as He does an individual. A nation has no more right to commit a sin than has an individual. As God cannot punish nations for their sins in the hereafter, He pun ishes national sins by national calamities.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a bold and thought-provoking argument that the liquor trade is fundamentally at odds with the principles of morality, the United States constitution, and the tenets upon which the country was founded. The author, a prominent figure in the temperance movement, draws on a wealth of legal, historical, and scriptural sources to demonstrate that the government's involvement in regulating and profiting from the sale of alcohol is not only unethical but also unconstitutional. Through a rigorous analysis of the Declaration of Independence, the author argues that the state has no right to sanction a practice that harms its citizens and undermines their pursuit of happiness. The book delves into the devastating effects of alcohol on individuals, families, and society as a whole, highlighting the hypocrisy of a government that claims to protect its people while simultaneously promoting a substance that has been proven to cause addiction, disease, and countless other social ills. Ultimately, this book is a clarion call for a radical reevaluation of the liquor trade, inviting readers to question the very foundation of a system that prioritizes profit over the well-being of its citizens.
