Episode description as stored
What are natural rights, and why, without them, are the ideas in the Declaration of Independence empty without them? Americans talk a lot about rights, but natural rights are the foundation of them all, and all the Declaration’s assertions and ideals flow from them. Jeff discusses what they are, how they relate to government, and why the are at the core of what Jefferson called ‘the American mind.” Download the 50 Core Documents book mentioned in the episode for free: https://tinyurl.com/yckez9c3 Host: Jeff Sikkenga Executive Producer: Jeremy Gypton Subscribe: https://linktr.ee/theamericanidea Homepage: https://ashbrook.org/the-american-idea-podcast/
