where they went to the historic eads house and saw only the second signed copy of the american declaration of independencehnology. then they made their way to brighton. they have such a greeting here. they spent lots of time with local schoolchildren outside the pavilion doors. prince harry was crouched down high—fiving them and doing lots of different handshakes and they were so excited to see both him and megan. they then had a tour of the royal pavilion and something of the royal pavilion and something ofa of the royal pavilion and something of a close connection therewith prince harry because one of his a ncestors prince harry because one of his ancestors built the royal pavilion in the 18th century. it was a summer home for king george iv. then the visit took more of an intimate tone really because they spent some time with the survivors network. that is a local charity in brighton but it supports victims across sussex who have been victims of sexual assault, abuse and violence. i have been told by the people there that that meant a lot to the by the people there that that meant a lotto the survivors

to pay the taxes anymore it's unfair taxation it's interesting only a third of americans wanted to declare their independence from england a third did not and a third were ambivalent you know they didn't care one way or another so only it shows that a small percentage of the population if motivated can stage a successful revolution but looking back i think we think that everyone was gung ho on this revolution but really it was a minority who and negatively created what what came out of all that. came out of it was the gumption and the personalities like paul revere and benjamin franklin and thomas jefferson these are incredibly successful intelligent visionary renaissance men who studied the rights of man from the enlightenment in europe they brought it to america they caught a five there ideas of freedom in the declaration of independence of the constitution of united states and once they put that in motion it was inevitably going to go forward the inertia of the revolution once sparked was carried forward irreversibly there approximately twenty two thousand red coats or english soldiers we we went on a kil

20th century we had arrived at this understanding of americanness originally built around the constitution, the bill of rights, the declaration of independence, the rule of law,, believe in the rule of law which i think was an important achievement that gives american something that they hold in common. which really now extremely troubling to me is the rise of the kind of right-wing white nationalism that says no, actually you do want to go back to this ethnic understanding of what it means to be an american. that's not possible in the united states. it's just not possible because it's too diverse society. now i think the threat is really coming from the right, more powerfully right now than it is from the left. >> do you feel like i think i was really struck by when you were talking about, and this is towards the end of the book, about a need to research with more confidence this national identity? one of the things which i agree with but one of the things that makes you sometimes a little bit pessimistic, and i have a lot more conversation with folks on the left to her sort of come from my perspective or maybe from yours, guilty of some of

beliefs comes from because the natural rights that jefferson talks about in the declaration of independence a lot of americansuld disagree with that, but it's possible to-- in fact, i had a long discussion with richard schultz the head of amnesty international about universal human rights and i just said, in europe where to human rights come from? what are they grounded in and he said well, they are basically just evolved over time and they are kind of what the culture has produced and i said okay so in china you have a culture that doesn't believe in our view of human rights so does that mean they are correct also and he said no, i mean, but you know-- he didn't have any grounding for this, i mean, he could've made an argument that referred to natural right, but someone like him would not accept an argument like that, so i just think that unfortunately we are never going to get agreements on those kinds of first principles and therefore we have to fall back on political ideas that we can commonly accept and allow for us to live together in a kind of pragmatic way and if you can do other things, if you can ad

declaration of independence. and collect all those town histories and it will be a biography of america and this will be great. that is the idea of july 4, 1876. the majority african-american town, african-american militia, they are marching and having a good time, they have read the declaration of independence, they are marching on the center square of the african-american town which they bought with their own money. and right here, is the wagon with these two -- tommy butler and henry gets in and they are watching these guys marked under their militia, a man named doc adams, this was a witness who remembered them marching, most equal to any company no matter what they came from, they had them well drilled, so henry and tommy belong to the butler plantation. they have to come across the river from augusta where they have done whatever training and loop around the father's plantation. so they are constantly having to come through hamburg on their way to augusta from their plantation. and it's driving them crazy, probably that these are black men with guns and they are so well ordered and drilled and happy. on july 4, 1876, which represents everything they don't want to see

declaration of independence in 1776. declare independence all you want, if you do not defeat the british army, you are not independent. for lincoln, the emancipation proclamation clarifies the terms of the war. for americans on both sides of the war. the emancipation proclamation clarifies the terms of the war, the states of the war. it makes it clear what the likely result of a union victory will be. that is going to be the fundamental reordering of southern society. is going to be the death of slavery sooner rather than later. even if it is not overnight or coterminous with the end of military hostilities, it is going to happen sooner rather than later if the union wins. so, on both sides of the conflict, you see a hardening of resolve. although there are these exemptions, there are the border states, areas in the confederacy exempted, most americans on both sides of this conflict are savvy enough to recognize, again, with a northern victory, where things are heading. if slavery dies is the result of this proclamation and georgia and alabama and mississippi, it is very unlikely it is going to continue in any significant way . slavery is now at stake in the war. so, the emancipation proclamation is a tur

declarations of independence that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. that idea translates in a pretty straightforward way into the constitution's vision for the executive and legislative branches. the american people are never more than two years or 730 days from choosing whether to rehire or to fire the vast majority of the federal elected officials. at first inspection, the notion that members of the federal judiciary, one of the co-equal branches of our federal government, can't be directly or easily fired by the people back home seems hard to square with this notion of popular sovereignty. to understand why this is, in fact, inconsistent, we need to only look at the proceeding words in the declaration to delineate the proper purpose of our government, to secure the inalienable rights to which our creator has endowed us all. for our ordered liberty to prosper and endure it requires the rule of law and not of men. to establish and preserve the rule of law, the framers designed in the federal judiciary an institution insulated from the ebbs and flows of public opinion in order to exercise in the words of federalist 79 not force or will but judgment. one of the most important responsibiliti

that they enable in this country americans to achieve the goals and objectives that are set forth in our founding documents like the constitution, declaration of independence. so when i say that what we need in order to have -- in order to protect the rule of law, the folks in charge of ensuring that we have the rule of law need to make sure that they have the sustained support of the american people over time. they need to figure out how to do that. the rule of law to me in some ways, it's not a goal in and of itself. it's not an end. it's a means. it's a means to achieve these other things that we want in this country, such as security, freedom, prosperity, justice. and -- but you can't, in my opinion, you cannot achieve those things if you don't have the rule of law. the american people need to pull together and believe that it is in their interest to support those institutions that provide civil society, like the fbi, like the justice department, like the other institutions of government. like the federal courts. if you don't support them, then you, the american people, are going to be at a place you really don't like because you don't appreciate how i
