The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversaryof 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 seventh volume of this series,
scholars of American history, law, and politics discuss how the American
Revolution unleashed the forces of constitution-making in the United States. As
states erected new governments in the wake of independence, they worked to
