Adams went to his grave thinking Jefferson got too much credit.

I'm Anastasia Bowden.

In this first season of Indescent, we look at the Declaration's words,

how they were incorporated into the Constitution,

by Supreme Court decisions.

One of the representatives said, I'm lucky because I'm

fat. And when they hang me, I'll die quickly. New York Times recently called the Constitution

dangerous. It is dangerous. It's saying we are separating ourselves from our mother country because

it's not our country anymore. We're fighting a war because our rights have

been attacked and oppressed. Thomas Jefferson isn't giving us these rights. Congress is not

giving us these rights. We have these because we're men and now we're going to fight for them.
