## Resource

Most Americans can recite the Declaration's second paragraph. Far fewer understand what it really means. Paul Meany sits down with Timothy Sandefur to dig into his new book  Proclaiming Liberty  to recover the Declaration as a scientifically grounded, universally applicable claim about human nature, not just a founding myth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
