The “shot heard round the world” led to the founding law of a new nation: a Constitution that enshrined liberty, due process, self-governance, and a profound suspicion of unchecked power. As we commemorate this pivotal anniversary, we must not forget how the Framers’ revolutionary ideals transformed American law.
