Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and theologian. He developed calculus independently of Leibniz and published his work on optics, discovering that white light is composed of colors. Through experiments with prisms, he showed that colors are properties of light itself. Later in his career, Newton worked on mechanics and gravity, formulating his three laws of motion and theories of universal gravitation. He held prestigious positions at the Royal Society and Royal Mint later in life. Newton's studies on light confirmed hypotheses previously made by Lucretius, a Roman poet, demonstrating that light is composed of corpuscular particles that determine the colors perceived by the human eye.

The document traces the historical development of important documents establishing rights and liberties from individuals from rulers, including:
- Magna Carta (1215) which limited the power of English kings and affirmed certain rights of free men.
- The English Bill of Rights (1689) which established rights like freedom of speech in Parliament and limited the power of the monarchy.
- The United States Declaration of Independence (1776) and French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (1789) which established rights during liberal revolutions.
- Ultimately, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) signed by nations after World War II which established fundamental rights for all people.
The document outlines the structure and powers of the three branches of the US federal government as established by the Constitution:
1) The legislative branch is made up of Congress, which has the power to enact laws, declare war, approve appointments, and conduct investigations. Congress is divided into the House of Representatives and Senate.
2) The executive branch is headed by the President, who enforces laws and acts as commander-in-chief. The President can sign or veto bills, negotiate treaties, issue executive orders, and pardon crimes.
3) The judicial branch consists of federal courts that interpret laws and the constitution. Judges are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Supreme Court is the highest
