Sources of the Declaration of Independence, An Address Delivered by the Honorable Albert J. Beveridge before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, June 2, 1926. The former Indiana Senator (1899-1911) delivered this speech one year before his passing. He talks about more than the Declaration: “Whether in a coma of prosperity or in a hypnosis of hysteria, we have allowed American rights and privileges to be bound by endless legalistic restrictions, until our practical enjoyment of those rights and privileges is limited or impossible.” A remarkable speech to read and quote from.
