In the Beginning: The Documents that Formed America is a collection of the essential founding texts that shaped the United States. Compiled and edited by ARCTexas senior historian Hank Wilson, this volume presents the original texts of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution of the United States, along with a dedicated chapter listing all constitutional amendments. This book offers readers, not only a direct look at the nation's foundational principles, it also serves as a valuable reference for students, scholars, and citizens seeking to understand the origins of American government and democracy.
