The Declaration of Independence can be a little difficult to read. It's not because people are stupid or dumb or even thick. It is because of the language of the time and the changing of definitions that make it difficult. Long ago, you might have heard someone say, "Put the cow into the bucket, some water," or "Throw the horse over the fence, some hay." You might look at those statements and squint, but you know you aren't fitting that cow into a bucket and you know you are not throwing the horse over a fence. Yet not too long ago, this is how some folks talked. Add to that, the fact that not all definitions of words used then are being used today. Capitalization rules were different, grammar was different, and people spoke and wrote with "flowery" prose.
So some people say they "just can't get it." Even well-educated people. Some say it hurts their brain to read it. But it is actually easy, once you understand the words; words that had meanings changed or omitted. That is what this book does. It explains the meanings of the words and sentences the way it was supposed to be understood at the time. It took a little research. You will find out that this is actually an easy document to read and understand.
These are the rules of the game, and not only will you not be able to win the game without knowing the rules, you can't even be a player. It is more important today than ever.
