Returning again to the year 1776: after the signing of
The Declaration of Independence, a committee in
Congress was formed to draft a national seal that
would express the spirit of America. Both Thomas
Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were on this committee:
THOMAS JEFFERSON
Thomas Jefferson proposed for America's national seal:
"The children of Israel in the wilderness, led by a
cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night." (3,24)
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Benjamin Franklin then suggested:
"Moses lifting up his wand, and dividnig the Red Sea,
and Pharaoh in his chariot overwhelmed with the
waters. This motto, 'Rebellion to tyrants is Obedience
to God'." (3,24)
With All Due Respect,
