The Classroom
Welcome to the Class. Here, we'll explore some of the most influential/classic books and documents ever written on political philosophy, Religion, Literature, and more. Most importantly, we will try to understand their modern relevance.
This podcast serves two primary purposes, which I'd like to refer to as my "dual motivations." Firstly, it fulfills a personal and somewhat self-serving objective: to archive all the valuable insights and teachings I've received from my professor Ron Cline.
Secondly, I aim to safeguard Professor Ron's wisdom for not only my benefit but also for yours and that of future generations. The core concept involves creating an avenue for revisiting and absorbing his profound guidance whenever needed.
It's worth noting that this intention extends beyond Professor Ron's contributions; I am committed to earnestly preserving the teachings of any guest educators who appear on the podcast.
Yours, student

The Declaration of Independence (1776) - Thomas Jefferson
On June 11, 1776, the second continental congress appointed a five-guy committee to draft the declaration of independence. The men were Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingstone, and John Adams. Eventually, it was a one-man job and Thomas Jefferson ended up being the main author of the document. It took Jefferson less than 30 days to complete and submit the final draft to the continental congress. Jefferson was only 33yrs old.
In this episode, professor Ron Cline and Erick Nganyange are discussing the key parts of the declaration of independence.
