America’s Declaration of Independence could help President William Ruto with some answers in liberal democracy. Ruto is asking Kenyans, “Why must Ruto go? Go where? What will you do that is different? What is your plan for Kenya?”
Issued in Congress on 4 July, 1776, the unanimous declaration states, “When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
