The Founding Principles

The American Founders believed that all men are created equal and that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

These principles were enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.

The Challenges Facing the Founders

The Founders faced a number of challenges in establishing a new nation. They had to overcome the British Empire, which was the most powerful military force in the world at the time. They also had to deal with the issue of slavery, which was a major source of tension between the North and the South. Despite these challenges, the Founders were able to establish a new nation that was based on the principles of liberty and self-governance.
