Nullification in a Nutshell The “Principles of 98,” as they came to be known, are rarely discussed in modern history lectures even though these are integral to understanding how our federal Constitution was intended to function. These are the principles of state interposition or nullification that assert that if the federal government fails to check itself through one of its three branches, then it would be up to the states to rein in the feds.

John Colter: The First Mountain Man The sinewy, bearded man raced up the brushy hillside, blood streaming from his nose from the terrific exertion.

56 Signers - The Declaration of Independence - 8 min. from AlanScholl on Vimeo.

A crucial moment in American history... 64 men met to discuss the options. They decided to issue their intent to break away from the greatest power on earth, with the largest military - England - to become a new, independent nation. They knew if they failed, it would become their own death warrant.

This document declaring boldly their intent, citing the rights that had been endowed to them by their Creator, and with the signatures of 56 brave men affixed was sent out to the world. After years of deadly war, suffering, and peril, the new nation was born in liberty and prosperity.

This is a tribute to those often-forgotten men - the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America who risked all so that we may be free.
