This book provides a complete overview of the American Founders'
political theory, covering natural rights, natural law, state of
nature, social compact, consent, and the policy implications of
these ideas. The book is intended as a response to the current
scholarly consensus, which holds that the Founders' political
thought is best understood as an amalgam of liberalism,
republicanism, and perhaps other traditions. West argues that, on
the contrary, the foundational documents overwhelmingly point to
natural rights as the lens through which all politics is
understood. The book explores in depth how the Founders' supposedly
republican policies on citizen character formation do not
contradict but instead complement their liberal policies on
property and economics. Additionally, the book shows how the
Founders' embraced other traditions in their politics, such as
common law and Protestantism.
