Why shouldn't Americans read the Declaration of Independence?
WWWTW: July 4th: Reading the Delcaration
"On the 4th we celebrate our independence, and the birthday of our polity, the United States of America."
Polity? Or a group of polities, united at first only in their separation from Great Britain? After all, the Articles of Confederation were not approved by the Continental Congress until 1777 and ratified in 1781. It is precisely confusion like this about the states, their sovereignty, and the nature of the two federal governments that makes me wonder how useful reading the Declaration of Independence would be for most Uhmericans.
A bit early for Independence Day grumbling... but I may go see the fireworks this year!
