Book

Exemplar of liberty : native America and the evolution of democracy / by Donald A. Grinde, Jr., and Bruce E. Johansen ; original artwork by John Kahionhes Fadden ; foreword by Vine Deloria, Jr.

Grinde, Donald A., 1946- (Author). Johansen, Bruce E. (Bruce Elliott), 1950- (Added Author).

Summary:

We attempt to trace both ideas and the events that dramatized them: life, liberty, and happiness (Declaration of Independence); government by reason and consent rather than coercion (Albany Plan and Articles of Confederation); religious toleration (and ultimately religious acceptance) instead of a state church; checks and balances; federalism (United States Constitution); and relative equality of property, equal rights before the law, and the thorny problem of creating a government that can rule equitably across a broad geographic expanse (Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution). Native America had a substantial role in shaping these ideas, as well as the events that turned the colonies into a nation of states.
