Understand the documents that made America the nation it is today!
The Declaration of Independence
The Articles of Confederation
The Constitution
The Gettysburg Address
These documents have all helped define the fundamental laws, beliefs, and history of the United States. Each one served a different function and altered the way Americans perceived their country. This No Fear compilation presents their original texts side-by-side with modern translations; it doesn’t interpret—especially where the writers have deliberately left things vague—but simply modernizes the language so readers can draw their own conclusions. There never was a better, more necessary time for this illuminating book.
