A landmark work of more than one hundred scholars, The Heritage
Guide to the Constitution is a unique line-by-line analysis
explaining every clause of America's founding charter and its
contemporary meaning. In this fully revised second edition, leading
scholars in law, history, and public policy offer more than two
hundred updated and incisive essays on every clause of the
Constitution. From the stirring words of the Preamble to the
Twenty-seventh Amendment, you will gain new insights into the ideas
that made America, important debates that continue from our
Founding, and the Constitution's true meaning for our nation.
The 1776 Report is the official report of The President's Advisory
1776 Commission. Submitted to the President and released as a
public document on January 18, 2021, the report explains the core
principles of the American founding and how they have shaped
American history, considers the leading challenges to these
principles at home and abroad, and calls on all Americans to
"restore our national unity by rekindling a brave and honest love
for our country and by raising new generations of citizens who not
only know the self-evident truths of our founding, but act worthy
of them." This edition features the original text with the addition
of notes and commentary by Chair Larry P. Arnn, Vice Chair Carol
Swain, and Executive Director Matthew Spalding.
Spalding explains and brings to life ten core principles that
define us as a nation and inspire us as a people - liberty and
equality, natural rights and the consent of the governed, private
property and religious freedom, the rule of law and
constitutionalism, all culminating in self-government at home and
independence in the world.
On the two-hundredth anniversary of George Washington's 1796
Farewell Address - one of the most influential but misunderstood
expressions of American political thought - this book places the
Address in the full context of American history and explains its
enduring relevance for the next century. Generations of American
political leaders have invoked the authority of the Address to
shape foreign and domestic policy. With discussions about national
character and personal responsibility dominating the current
political landscape, there has been a resurgence of interest in the
character of the nation's founders, particularly Washington's. The
authors show how the Address expressed Washington's ideas for
forming a national character that would cultivate the habits,
morals, and civic virtues essential for stable republican
self-government. An insightful and provocative analysis of the
past, present, and future of American democracy and its most
important citizen, this book will be of value to anyone concerned
about the current state of American citizenship and the future role
of the federal government.
These essays on strategy, war, and statecraft have been written
during the current reassessment of United States' national
strategy. But they also take strategic thinking back to certain
principals and interests which have guided America before, during,
and after the Cold War. Co-published with The Institute for Public
Policy.
