[Libertarianism.org’s](http://www.libertarianism.org) first week was a terrific success. If you haven’t visited yet, I encourage you to do so. The site’s an excellent place to learn about and explore the theory and history of liberty.

Smith [published a new essay in his *Excursions* series.](http://www.libertarianism.org/publications/essays/excursions/audacious-document-notes-declaration-independence) Smith examines colonial reaction to the Declaration of Independence’s list of grievances as well as the political principles informing its drafting.
