Two hundred and fifty years ago, or, as we say in the United Kingdom “just the other day,” they declared independence. By balancing contending forces and drawing strength in diversity, they united 13 disparate colonies to forge a nation on the revolutionary idea of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” They carried with them, and carried forward, the great inheritance of the British Enlightenment—as well as the ideals which had an even deeper history in English common law and Magna Carta. These roots run deep, and they are still vital._**\n\nMagna Carta has appeared in at least 160 U.S. Supreme Court cases since 1789, the King noted, “not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.”\n\nThe King recalled the Glorious Revolution of 1688 as precursor to America’s own Revolution:\n\n**_Our Declaration of Rights of 1689 was not only the foundation of our constitutional monarchy, but also provided the source of so many of the principles reiterated, often verbatim, in the American Bill of Rights of 1791. It is here in these very halls that this spirit of liberty and the promise of America’s founders is present in every session and every vote cast._**\n\n(Read the rest here.)\n\nThe post Christianity & “Liberalism” appeared first on Juicy Ecumenism.",
