The Declaration of Independence and the Pursuit of Happiness

There has been a dawning in our lifetime view of interest in the founding by people who are objecting to this modern administrative state. And I and my teacher and my friends at the Claremont Institute and you all have something to do with that reviving interest. In the early days, one of the key arguments by people who didn't like the Declaration of Penis is it's a relativistic document. It doesn't say happiness. It says pursuit of happiness. The third thing was that the declaration of penis really has nothing to do with the founding. So those three claims were huge objections that were fought through academically and in politics for years.
