Sentence Torture

Here's an image of real torture that has been going on for decades now in the US! The absolute outrage!

Somebody has some serious explaining to do! (Seriously, if someone could explain this I'll post it in here)

    Explain it? It means that you can say stuff like that in a blog like this, and the government can't put you in jail for it, ultimately.

    It means "we the people" are the roots and source of power for the Constitution, and not God, not any king, not any other power.

    It means our liberty is an agreement between you and me and 300 million of our closest friends that we will elect good people to make good laws, and that we will work to obey those good laws.

    @ed,

    I am quite aware of the meaning of this Declaration :). I am only just relearning my sentence structure diagrams though.

    By and by I have followed the links from your site and I'm learning as time permits. Thank you very much for this complex example to puzzle us.
