  In 1776 Thomas Jefferson, a future president authored the most explosive document in the history of America: The Declaration of Independence , formally severing the link between America and the British state. Michael Hardt, co-author of the groundbreaking Empire and Multitude , examines this and other texts by Jefferson, arguing that his powerful concept of democracy is, seen through contemporary eyes, a biting critique of the current American administration's tyranny.
