By Preserving America’s Past We Insure America’s Future. This comprehensive book of many Founding documents from the Magna Carta to our great Constitution and Bill of Rights also gives some background and quotes by several Founders. You have to ask the question: Who and What brought us Principles of Freedom, Liberty, Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, Prosperity and Private property ownership? Our national Pledge of Allegiance states that we are a Republic and not a Democracy and that we are one nation “under God”, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”Well, which is it, “ Republic or Democracy, Is There a Difference?”This is not only spelled out in our Constitution, but also in the Rule of Law and it was locked down so that the process would require the People’s involvement. This is why our Constitution has been classed as "rigid". The term "rigid" is used in opposition to "flexible" (or a “living” document) because the provisions are in a written document which cannot be legally changed with the same ease and in the same manner as ordinary laws."History Is God's Providence In Human Affairs."Daniel Webster
