Now then, let's see how much of a patriot Uncle Normie is. From the following we can easily see that not only does he not know his history, he obviously does not understand the significant role that the GREAT MAGNA CARTA played in shaping our beloved Declaration of Independence and our Constitution nor does he know or understand that the MAGNA CARTA and the rights it guarantees to the citizens of England to this very day but it has also been the foundation stone upon which the rights of all citizens throughout the free world. Every free world nation in existance today has in one way or another incorporated the principles, beliefs and values that the Magna Carta proclaims for all free men everywhere. He is obviously so poorly educated that he does not know that all Americans were subjects of the English crown until the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4th, 1776.
He is most unlikely unaware that George Washington was not our first president. I'll bet he does not know that the following great men were our presidents prior to George Washington.
1. Peyton Randolph of Va. was the first president of the Continental Congress 1774
2. Henry Middleton of Sc. was the 2nd president of the Continental Congress 1774
3. Peyton Randolph of Va. was the 3rd president of the Continental Congress 1775
4. John Hancock of Mass. was the 4th president of the Continental Congress 1775-76
5. Henry Lurens of SC. was the 5th president of the Congtinental Congress 1777
6. John Jay of New York was the 6th president of the Contentinental Congress 1778
7. Samuel Huntington of Conn Was the 7th president of the Continetal Congress 1779-80
8. Thomas McKean of Del. was the 8th president of the Continental Congress 1781
9. John Hanson of Md. was the 9th president of the Continental Congress 1781
10. Elias Boudinot N.J. was the 10th president of the Continental Congress 1782
11. Thomas Mifflin of Pa. was the 11th president of the Continental Congress 1783
12. Richard Henry Lee Va. was the 12th president of the Continental Congress 1784-1785
13. Nathaniel Gorham Mass was the 13th president of the Continental Congress 1786
14. Arthur St. Clair was the 14th president of the Continental Congress 1787
15. Cyrus Griffin of Va. Was the 15th president of the Continental Congress 1788
The Declaration of Independence.
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument.
The violations of English Common Law in the American Colonies by King George, provided Thomas Jefferson with ample argument in writing his declaration of independence from the monarchy. |
Such Revolutionary War era principles as habeas corpus and the wrongness of taxation without representation drew their roots from English Law of the 17th century that was based upon the Magna Carta. King George had violated these laws...in effect placing his decisions above the law of the land, and this gave the Colonists not only the right to seek freedom, but a responsibility to do so.
Not only did the Magna Carta become a "springboard" for Jefferson's revolutionary Declaration of Independence, the concepts of LAW as supreme (above even kings or legislative bodies) were drafted into the United States Constitution by James Monroe. The Bill of Rights, and specifically the 5th and 6th Amendments, find their heart and even their verbiage in the words of The Great Charter. Born in England in the 13th Century, the Magna Carta is arguably American as it is British.
On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution provides the legal and governmental framework for the United States, however, the Declaration, with its eloquent assertion "all Men are created equal," is equally beloved by the American people. Until such time as the Second Continental Congress convened and adopted the Declaration of Independence, America was a subject of the British Crown.The Federal Convention convened in the State House (Independence Hall) in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, to revise the Articles of Confederation. Because the delegations from only two states were at first present, the members adjourned from day to day until a quorum of seven states was obtained on May 25. Through discussion and debate it became clear by mid-June that, rather than amend the existing Articles, the Convention would draft an entirely new frame of government. All through the summer, in closed sessions, the delegates debated, and redrafted the articles of the new Constitution.
On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States therefore proposed to the state legislatures 12 amendments to the Constitution that met arguments most frequently advanced against it.
All of the above are important facts in our great history which Uncle Normie obviously knows nothing about yet he has the temerity to make the following dumb statements and hope to palm it off on his unsuspecting audience as being truth.

All of his slams are nothing more than outrageous falsehoods.
