Happy Independence Day! For anyone interested in developing a broader understanding of the motivations behind the revolution, the The Summary View of the Rights of British America was Jeffersons foundational pamphlet outlining a number of the grievances presented in the Declaration of Independence that followed. Initially meant only to be a pamphlet for the delegates of the First Continental Congress, it was distributed throughout the colonies and Europe, and was the worlds introduction to Thomas Jefferson. The most well known passage was his admonishment of those pandering to the king, Let those flatter, who fear: it is not an American art. To give praise where it is not due, might be well from the venal, but would ill beseem those who are asserting the rights of human nature. constitutionreader/reader/chapter.engz?doc=constitution&chapter=OEBPS%2FText%2Fch13.xhtml&shr=1
