More revisionist nonsense by left wing haters of freedom.
There is a period in the so-called original. It is above the dash, but it is a period. The so-called later copies probably just put the period where it belongs.
Her thesis really changes nothing, is hair splitting, and no one has ever claimed that Jefferson was against any form of government — he ran for president, after all. He plainly said that government was instituted, (or required) to protect God-given rights.
This woman makes out that the entire sense of a document of that length depends merely on the placement of a period, and that she has seen what millions of people have failed to see.
She will appear on TV shows, and in a relaxed, easy manner, as that tact has become universal with liberals, expose her genius to the world. Matt Lauer will swoon over her.
Indeed - what about all of the federalist and anti-federalist papers, all of the well known writings of the founders?
The intent is quite clear to anyone who cares to be presented with the truth.
...depends on what your interpretation of “is”...is?
Another rabid nut professor.
Yawn.
I have no trust in the scholarship of a black woman with lice cut hair
Actions speak louder than words. They went on to create a limited government.
I hate liberals.
In this case it matters not as the Declaration of Independence is not a document recognized as a forming document of our government, as it came prior to the Constitution, which is the enabling document. This is a well known and accepted principle.
***Princeton professor claims rogue period in official transcript DOESN´T appear on original***
Several copies of the Declaration were made and sent to various kings around the world. Ever so often one of these shows up.
The “T” in the following word ‘That’ is capitalized. Thus, the period was there when the document was written...or it was implied that ‘Happiness’ was the last word in the previous sentence. There has been no misinterpretation.
Autocorrect
The missing period is another ‘autocorrect’ error, the Founders had to deal with writing the Declaration Of Indepen dance.
There it goes again.
She’s arguing that the founders thought “that governments are instituted among men to secure these rights,” is “self-evident.”
Duh. Not sure where it gets her.
Now if she had found an invisible ink insertion that crossed out the above language and inserted “That governments are instituted among men to rule them without limit and to enrich those who serve and their friends,” she might really have something that supports our modern American State.
