Thee Profoundly Brilliant

Truly Offbeat

Virtuous Virtuoso

Rebellious Birth

of our U.S. Ideals :

Exceptional. Remarkable. Genius.

Unheard of. Extraordinary. Unusual.

Identified as The American Revolution.

In reality,

it was the very birth

of granting principles

of freedom

to the entire human race.

It was not only

the American Revolution,

it was Thee Humane Revolution.

The ideals of the American Revolution

which were centered on liberty, equality,

natural rights, popular sovereignty,

& the consent of the governed

were a radical set of principles

that completely redefined the relationship

between a people & their government.

It was the very beginning of a brand new political world order.

The American Revolution was revolutionary

because it fundamentally shifted power

from a hereditary monarchy

to a republic governed by the people.

It transformed :

subjects

into

citizens.

It granted humans the capacity to self-govern.

The American Revolutionaries gave us

more than an independent nation state.

They defined personal independence

& proclaimed it was the role of government

to protect our independence.

It provided us & the U.S. with a national identity.

The American Revolutionaries pronounced

that the purpose of government was to

advance the interests of the ordinary people.

And. For the people not to be legally bound

& forced to obey to the will of these kings,

emperors, czars, or rulers who merely existed

to advance their own all-powerful self interests.

Governments were to be governed

by the will of the people instead

& were to be ruled by laws

that were endorsed by

the people themselves.

Ruled by us & all of U.S.

It shattered the norm

of imperialism.

Questioned Dominance.

Confronted the concept

of master

of inferiority superiority

of servitude.

The greatest consequence

of the American Revolution

was that is inspired

oppressed people worldwide.

It challenged the traditional world order

giving dignity to the ordinary folks,

& set in motion movements

to end indentured servitude,

slavery,

& advocated women’s rights.

It proved impossible to justify

limiting the right to vote

only to wealthy landowners.

State governments began

reducing property requirements,

leading to more

common citizens

entering public life.

The American Revolution

cleared the way for

separation

of church & state,

ending tax-supported churches in many regions.

The repercussions of the American Revolution

were/are/still are

groundbreaking & unprecedented.

Its momentum

from its creation

onward

has completely altered,

inverted

& reversed

thinking shifts

concerning who rules

& how

& who

& how nations

go about governing.

Revolutionary

for all thee peoples

everywheres.

The U.S.A. was the first

great successful republic

of modern times

& has been

for nearly 250 years.

The last 250 years of our history

are incomprehensible

without regarding

our very beginning

revolutionary ideals.

It Inspired Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address :

“Four score and seven years ago

our fathers brought forth,

upon this continent, a new nation,

conceived in liberty & dedicated

to the proposition that

all men are created equal."

Now we are engaged in a great civil war,

testing whether that nation,

or any nation so conceived

& so dedicated, can long endure.”

It Inspired Dr. MLK. King’s speech :

“I have a dream that one day

this nation will rise up

& live out the true meaning

of its creed -

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that

all men are created equal.”

The American Revolution

& the American Revolutionaries

live

right now

influence us

right now

inspire us

right now

today are

next to us

side by side

with us

with you

& me

& we

& we all

& you all

presently

even after 250 years

since their inception.

They are with us.

They are a part of us.

They speak to us.

They are U.S.

We are them.

Still. Today.

Now.

Us. U.S.

We the people.

My country tis of thee.

We hold these truths.

The land of the free

& the home of the brave.

Thy good with brotherhood

from sea to shining sea.

Oh say can you see.

Footnote : Declaration of Independence: Jefferson is most famously known for drafting the Declaration of Independence, which outlines the natural rights of citizens and the right to institute new government. Thomas Jefferson did not write the U.S. Constitution. He was serving as the U.S. Minister to France during the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Instead, James Madison is widely credited as the "Father of the Constitution" for his pivotal drafting and floor leadership

The U.S. Constitution was not written by a single person, but by a committee of 55 delegates known as the Founding Fathers during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia. 

• James Madison ("The Father of the Constitution"): Virginia delegate James Madison is widely considered the primary author. He arrived at the convention with a prepared blueprint for the new government and kept extensive daily notes of the debates. 

  
  

• Gouverneur Morris: The delegate from Pennsylvania wrote the final draft and is credited with penning the eloquent preamble and the overall structure of the text. 

  Gouverneur was his actual first name.

• Alexander Hamilton: The delegate from New York was a major driver in organizing the convention, contributing to the framework, and later advocating fiercely for its approval. 

The Bill of Rights: Jefferson was initially concerned that the original document lacked explicit protections for civil liberties. He continuously urged his friend James Madison to add a list of enumerated rights, which directly led to the first 10 amendments
