"...that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Thus, the Declaration of Independence describes the great American concept of individual rights. Throughout our history we have striven to interpret the ideals of rights and liberties into practical political and social behaviors. We have waged military battles to spread their "truths" to other countries and cultures. And we argue among ourselves as to the definition and privileges of these so-called universal rights. This Honors course studies the background and path of history of these ideas and discusses their applications to try to make sense and action out of the Founding Fathers' dreams. Offered on: E / 4 cr. hrs.
