What are the fundamental principles of the American republic? Are these principles based on objective reality, or simply the "consent of the governed"? Are such principles changeable, and if so, on what grounds? How should one read the founding documents? What authority do the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches have? What are rights? How are they inalienable? Join us in examining these questions of fundamental importance to the survival of the American republic. Our July reading will be Tocqueville’s classic Democracy in America.
