Inhaltsangabe

The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of American independence, yet the founding is controversial now in ways it has not been in decades. The American Enterprise Institute offers a major intellectual and educational project to reintroduce Americans to the unique value of their national inheritance. In the fourth volume of this series, legal scholars and political scientists examine the many ways in which the founding generation understood the "unalienable rights" immortalized by the Declaration of Independence. Although the Declaration described the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as a "self-evident" truth, this characterization belied the Revolutionary era's complex discourse on the origins of political rights and their role in sustaining a political community. Delving into these debates reveals how the American Revolution encoded a productive tension between individual rights and communal responsibilities at the nation's founding.
