For yesterday’s July 4 holiday, Tucson Sentinel (npub1cr5…z86c) published this opinion piece from historian, ethicist and media scholar Joseph Jones about the U.S. Constitution and the term “We the People.” “The United States’ founders firmly rejected King George III and the entire idea of monarchy 248 years ago, on July 4, 1776,” he writes. “Political power does not come from some absolute authority of a king over people, the founders argued. Rather, political power comes from the people themselves. And these people must agree to any authority governing their society.”
