Each philosopher's ideas are related to American ideals.·The Declaration and the Constitution are the two greatest publications mankind has ever known. But they weren't created out of thin air. Chapter 7 discusses the precedents our forefathers studied before drafting these two great documents.·In Chapter 8, each American war is discussed in the light of whether it was just or unjust.·Chapter 9 covers the role of immigrants in shaping America.
