X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>What did America's founders say about 
 democracy\, and can we remain true to their vision for America?</em></p>\n
 <p>Two hundred fifty years ago\, passionate men attempted to create someth
 ing the world had never seen before: a nation built not on kings or armies
 \, but on ideas where the people ruled.</p>\n<p>In&nbsp\;<em>The Democracy
  We Must Keep</em>\, historian David O. Stewart takes readers inside the n
 ine key documents that shaped the formation of the United States&mdash\;fr
 om Patrick Henry's thunderous cry for liberty to the carefully crafted des
 ign of a government chosen by the people\, with limits on all officials ho
 lding power under the Constitution.</p>\n<p>Through the words of seven vis
 ionary founders&mdash\;Washington\, Jefferson\, Madison\, Hamilton\, Gouve
 rneur Morris\, and others&mdash\;Stewart shows how a fragile experiment in
  self-government took shape.</p>\n<p>These men were not saints. They argue
 d passionately. They worried that the new nation might fall apart. Yet tog
 ether\, they forged the principles that must still define American democra
 cy:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Power must be limited.</li>\n<li>Leaders must answer to
  the people.</li>\n<li>Individual rights must be protected by law.</li>\n<
 /ul>\n<p><br />As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary\,&nbs
 p\;<em>The Democracy We Must Keep</em>&nbsp\;urges readers to rediscover c
 ore ideas that built the nation&mdash\;and to consider what it will take t
 o protect them.</p>\n<p>Register today to gain a deeper understanding of h
 ow American democracy started\, why it still matters\, and the active role
  each generation must play to uphold it.</p>\n<p><strong>About the Author:
