## Resource

Two hundred fifty years after the Declaration of Independence, historians Leah Murray and J. Michael Deakin remind us that loving America isn’t about blindly supporting the government—it’s about cherishing the ideals of liberty and equality that the nation was built on. The founders gambled on a new experiment with no guarantee of success, yet the country endured through war and change, proving the system can adapt. While progress has been made on issues like slavery and women’s rights, the real struggle lies in our shared humanity. Deakin sees the rule of law as our greatest strength, but warns when those enforcing it ignore it. Despite flaws, the founders’ framework still holds—and optimism remains.
