THEY SIGNED THE DECLARATION
The quiz reviews the 56 signers, their pledge of lives, fortunes and sacred honor, and the Declaration’s 250-year impact, officials said.
- The Declaration of Independence reaches its 250th anniversary, marked by a quiz testing knowledge of the document's history and the 56 signers who pledged their commitment to America's founding.
- Members of the Continental Congress pledged their "lives, fortunes and sacred honor" to America's founding 250 years ago, yet historical records show none of the 56 signers died in combat during the Revolutionary War.
- The founding document shares deep philosophical ties with the Holy Bible on human rights. Rob Natelson, Senior Fellow in Constitutional Jurisprudence at the Mountain States Policy Center, notes the Declaration's alignment with Creator-endowed rights.
- Natelson warns that unscrutinous hands may manipulate the Declaration for political purposes, making it essential that citizens understand the document's true meaning and original intent.
- Preserving the Declaration's original intent requires ongoing civic effort beyond this anniversary; citizens must study history to prevent the founding document from becoming a propaganda tool for narrow political agendas.
