Soul Liberty-Celebrating America's First Freedom: A Review

This beautifully illustrated book about Freedom the Constitution of the United States and the Amendments to the Constitution as well as some important quotes from significant people in the history of the United States.

Here are some of the quotes that I really like:

The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance. John Philpot Curran

The founders of the nation wisely sought to guard against the employment of secular power on the part of the church, with its inevitable result- intolerance and persecution.  Ellen G White

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Thomas Jefferson

Government is frequently and aptly classed under two descriptions-a government of force, and a government of law; the first is the definition of despotism-the last of liberty. Alexander Hamilton

Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate would be oppression. Thomas Jefferson

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God cannot long retain it. Abraham Lincoln

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. First Amendment.
