| Description: | Select Guide Rating The book revises the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution to make them fully consistent with the protection of individual rights and freedom. It shows what rights and freedom are, why they are crucial to human life, and how to protect them in the fundamental legal documents of a nation What are individual rights? What is freedom? How are they related to each other? Why are they so crucial to human life? How do you protect them? These are some of the questions that A Declaration and Constitution for a Free Society answers. The book uses Objectivist philosophy—the philosophy of Ayn Rand—to analyze subjective, intrinsic, and objective theories of rights and show why rights and freedom are objective necessities of human life. This knowledge is then used to make changes to the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution. Through these changes, the book shows the fundamental legal requirements of a free society and why we should create such a society. It demonstrates why a free society is morally, politically, and economically beneficial to human beings. |
