The Declaration of Independence: The Golden Apple Encased in a Frame of Silver
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
To commemorate the 250 anniversary of the Declaration of Independence we will explore Abraham Lincoln's profound metaphor that described the Declaration of Independence as "the golden apple" and the Constitution as the "frame of silver" built to adorn and preserve it. This course will analyze the foundational principles of liberty and equality expressed in the Declaration's most famous passages. We will examine how the subsequent Constitution established the structure of government designed to implement and protect those ideals. Join us for four sessions to understand the essential, yet often complicated, relationship between these two indispensable documents in American history.
