Citing Jefferson's "Summary View of the Rights of British America," Dr. Mayer shows how the American philosophy of government is one premised on individual rights. Supporting this premise is a fascinating analysis of the intellectual influences of Jefferson's day. In the second half of his talk, Dr. Mayer elucidates the history and foundations of the famous "We hold these truths to be self-evident" paragraph, and concludes with a commentary on the main body of "counts" against King George III.
