The Declaration Of Independence Songs

When my daughters were in a Key of Liberty class and received the challenge to memorize the Declaration of Independence I decided to put it to music. I divided the Declaration into eight parts and put each part to music. However, I did not make a song for the grievances of the king, but they are listed in one of the posts. I hope this will be helpful to you and your children as you study and learn about this inspired document that is such an important part of our nation's history.

Part 5 -- A TYRANT IS UNFIT

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Thomas Jefferson
