Human Nature And The Declaration Of Independence Essay -- essays resea

Human character and the Declaration of Independence      I would like to show that the view of kind-hearted nature that is shown in TheDeclaration of Independence is taken more from the tidings and that that view isin disagree manpowert with two of the three esays disposed(p) in class. The Biblicalperspective of man is that he was created by a overlord Creator with a specificplan in mind and make in the image of his Creator. Men are entitled to thepursuit of satisfaction hardly also required by the Laws of Nature and Natures god tobe the just attendants of the land and of the governed. The Nature of man issinful so that they must be governed but those who govern must be accountable toGod just as the macrocosm fathers were. God is Sovereign over workforce as the finalJudge.     The Declaration of Independence is a document co-written by thefounding fathers in order to declare their independence of the Crown of Britain.They belived thi s to be within their rights indowed upon them by their Creator.Be impositionving that they were under religious persecution and certain forms of" compulsive tyranny" from Britian the founding fathers felt it was necessary tobreak the bonds that connected them to the monarchy. non only did they feel theyhad the God given right to do that but they also based their arguments on theworkings of political sciences of the time and contemporary theories of government ofwriters and political-social thinkers of their time.     The three essays that were given to us in class, Politics by Aristotle,Of people by Thomas Hobbes, and Of the Limits of Government by JohnLocke are each(prenominal) very intersting essays on how government is supposed to funtion.Although the founding fathers probably direct all three of these essays andsimialar philosphical thought went into the writing of The Declaration ofIndependence I think that the only essay of the really used by th e foundingfathers was Of the Limits of Government by John Locke. Unfortunately theversion of this essay given to us in class was truncated and consisted actuallyof two dissimilar essays written by John Locke. . Thomas Hobbes 1588-1679 isthe founder of the theories of Hobbism which calls on direct monarchy in orderto deal with what he calls inherently selfish, aggrandizing nature of humanity.... ...place to God, and by and by to the laws."     It seems pretty clear to me when I find outThe Declaration of Independenceand when I read quotes from the founding fathers and their contemporaries thatit was the work of strong Bible believing men that first made the monumentalleap in breaking essence with Britian. Unfortunately their words and lives havegone by the wayside in our hearts and minds.Instead of learning about GeorgeWashingtons famous words of Christian conviction or how he emerged unscathed frombattle with his uniform riddeled with bullet holes our memorial books teach usall about how he could not lie when he chopped down the cherry tree. If men suchas Hobes and Aristotle could have even welled up enough courage in their frigidityand timid souls 200 years ago to break the tyrrany of the British, I powerfullybelieve that our country would have quickly decayed in lousiness and greed.     "So whither you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the gloryof God."(1Cor 1031)- Christianity and the Constitution p.51,53 Americas Providential Historyp.156 novel of Separation p.195-96
