Add to basketPaperback. What does it mean to be a citizen in a democracy? This question is more than academic; it is a call to action. For democracy to thrive, citizens must understand its roots and principles. This book, "AMERICAN DEMOCRACY July 4th, 2025," aims to illuminate the history and meaning of our foundational documents: the American Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the principles of self-determination and reliance. It also examines the responsibilities of citizenship, framed alongside the moral teachings of the Ten Commandments.Today, our democratic institutions face challenges that demand informed citizens. Knowing the Constitution and Bill of Rights is not just for scholars or politicians. It is for everyone who calls themselves an American. Our democracy depends on citizens who are educated and engaged, understanding both their rights and responsibilities. This book seeks to provide that knowledge and inspire action.My journey began in the fields of Texas, where I learned the values of hard work and community. Growing up in Seguin and New Braunfels, I felt a deep connection to the land and its people. Later, as a military aviator and instructor, I served my country and taught others to do the same. This experience taught me about leadership and responsibility. It also reinforced my belief in the importance of an informed citizenry. These experiences inspire my commitment to the ideals of democracy and education.The central argument of this book is simple but profound: American citizens must educate themselves about democracy. Understanding the Constitution and Bill of Rights is crucial. Yet, it is also vital to consider these documents in the context of self-determination, reliance, and moral responsibility. Only then can we fully appreciate our roles as citizens and the potential of our democracy.This book is for adults, mothers, fathers, children, families, citizens, politicians, teachers, and government leaders. It speaks to anyone who values democracy and seeks to understand it better. Whether you are a parent teaching your child about civic responsibility or a politician navigating the complexities of governance, this book aims to provide insights and provoke thought.Drawing from a wealth of research, this book highlights historical documents, scholarly analyses, and real-world examples. Each chapter builds on the next, offering a comprehensive view of American democracy. With references to primary sources and expert commentary, the book aims to balance academic rigor with readability. This approach ensures that the content is both informative and engaging.Readers can expect a structured exploration of democracy. The book begins with the historical context of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It then delves into the principles of self-determination and reliance, examining their relevance today. A discussion of the Ten Commandments provides a moral framework for citizenship. Each chapter concludes with reflections and questions for further thought, encouraging readers to apply what they have learned.As you explore the pages of this book, I invite you to engage deeply with its content. Reflect on the ideas presented, discuss them with others, and consider their implications in your own life. Democracy is not a spectator sport; it requires active participation.The takeaway from this book is clear: our democracy depends on informed and responsible citizens. By understanding the history and principles of our democratic institutions, we can better fulfill our roles as citizens. This knowledge empowers us to contribute to a more just and equitable society.In writing this book, I hope to ignite a passion for democratic education and inspire readers to act. Together, we can strengthen our democracy and ensure that it remains a beacon of hope and opportunity for future gene Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
