The 5000 Year Leap phraseology allowing the average person to
fully comprehend an otherwise difficult subject. Dr. Skousen was
able to hold to this premise simplifying a complex subject in
creating “The 5000 Year Leap.” The 5000 Year Leap is a treatise
detailing the development and growth of society. The United
States of America as a result of following historically proven
principles of liberty, freedom and prosperity has greatly
enhanced the living standards of all mankind. A Noble Experiment
These principles have been discovered by earlier societies
though not used simultaneously with one another. For the first
time in history a government was established built to initiate a
“great noble experiment” testing whether these historical
individually proven principles would benefit the newly formed
government of the United States. The creation of the U. S.
Constitution began a great experiment that has created a
remarkable period of growth and development along with awakening
man’s personal liberty, and freedom.
