I was here on the 4th, comparing the original rough draft of Jefferson's with the text he presented to the assemblage of representatives from the 13 original colonies to the final text approved by them when I was reminded of the one section that certain representatives demanded be removed before they would approve the document. Take a look yourself and notice that one indictment against the King of England that didn't make it in the final cut.
Reminds us that the fore fathers were simply human, with very human prejudices and fears and that we need to constantly reassess the rules of law they created to in the end achieve the goals of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all.
