In the nearly 6,000 years of recorded human history, the most common form of human government has been the monarchy, the rule of a king. Under such a system, power is centralized in an individual and the state trumps the individual.
In contrast, America has been an attempt to recognize the God-given rights and freedoms of the individual and to guarantee liberty through the laws of a representative democracy. In Change to Chains, an eight-part DVD series, author Bill Federer walks viewers through the historical cycle of power shifting from a centralized source to the people and back again. 3 DVD set.
