The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversaryof American independence, yet the founding is controversial now in ways it hasnot been in decades. The American Enterprise Institute offers a majorintellectual and educational project to reintroduce Americans to the uniquevalue of their national inheritance. In the seventh volume of this series, scholars of American history, law, and politics discuss how the AmericanRevolution unleashed the forces of constitution-making in the United States. Asstates erected new governments in the wake of independence, they worked tocombine traditions of colonial self-government with both classical and novelpolitical theories. Studying the revolutionary period shows how it gave birth to a constitutional culture that shaped the delegates and debates that would forge the nation's enduring Constitution in 1787.
