I had the honor of
being invited to write another essay for Constituting America. This one is on a
sermon delivered by Gad Hitchcock in 1774.
"How did a revolution
commence in the minds and hearts of Americans? It germinated in pulpits and
taverns, and from pamphleteers and newspapers. By the time the Declaration of
Independence was signed, there was a colonial consensus on a few key principles.
Today, we call these the Founding Principles or First Principles."
