He points out contradictions within the document, notes how the meanings of Jefferson's words have changed over the centuries, and asks many disturbing questions, including:\* Where do rights come from \* Do we have ''unalienable rights'' \* Do rights to ''life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness'' have any meaning \* How could slaveowners claim to believe that ''all men are created equal'' \* Is the God of the Declaration the God of the Bible \* Does the Declaration establish a Christian State \* Are there ''Laws of Nature and of Nature's God'' Challenging, upsetting, and controversial, this brilliant polemic may anger you, delight you, or force you to reexamine your opinions.
