What makes the US political system unique, and how do the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence apply to today's global challenges? The author analyzes key turning points in American history, the impact of domestic reforms on foreign policy, and how the legacy of the Founding Fathers shapes the agenda of the 21st century.
