Divided into eleven sections with introductions by members of Hillsdale’s Politics Division college, readings cowl:
-the ideas of the American founding;
-the framing and construction of the Structure;
-the secession disaster and the Civil Battle;
-the Progressive rejection of the Structure; and
-the constructing of the executive state primarily based on Progressive ideas.
America’s Founders created a type of authorities which had, within the phrases of James Madison, “no mannequin on the face of the earth.” Its ethical basis is within the Declaration of Independence and its precept of equal pure rights. Beneath the Structure, authorities was to be restricted to defending these rights.
In latest many years, the best way our authorities operates has departed from the Structure. Authorities has develop into much less restricted, and our liberties much less safe. On the similar time, true civic schooling in America–education within the Structure–has largely died out. We at Hillsdale Faculty see it as certainly one of our highest duties to reverse this.
