Declaration Statesmanship: A Course in American Government

Comprehensive High School Curriculum Set · Includes Video Lectures

Overview

Declaration Statesmanship is a one-of-a-kind American Government high school course that unites history, philosophy, and civics in a dynamic blend of narrative and argument. The authors have meticulously matched the thoughtfulness and elegance of the original sources—from the Magna Carta to the Federalist Papers—that were pivotal in the founding of our nation. By engaging directly with fundamental texts, students don't just learn about government; they learn to think like statesmen and live as free men.

Course Preview

The course is structured in three primary parts:

  • Part I: The Principles of Liberty – Exploring the Declaration of Independence, the religious and philosophical influences on the Founders, and how the Constitution fulfills these ideals.
  • Part II: The Test of Statesmanship – Investigating how leaders applied founding ideals to the difficult questions of slavery and civil rights.
  • Part III: The Requirements of Self-Rule – Analyzing Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America to understand what is needed to maintain our inherited freedom.

The Complete Set Includes:

  • Coursebook: Contains the core text, chapter questions, quizzes, and course tests.
  • Reading Book: A volume of the original writings and documents that accompany the course.
  • Teacher’s Manual: Lesson plans, instructions, and full answer keys.
  • Video Lectures: A 14-part series of 30-minute classroom-style lectures (included automatically with purchase).

Intended Audience

Perfect for homeschool families, private academies, and co-ops looking to inform future generations of their rights, duties, and responsibilities as American citizens. Designed for 9th–12th grade students.

Key Themes

  • Original Source Literacy: Reading the documents that actually built the nation.
  • Philosophical Roots: Understanding the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."
  • Virtuous Citizenship: The moral character required for a sustainable free society.
