Aprašymas

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 inaugural volume of an eight-book series, renowned historians and
political scientists explore what the contested idea of democracy meant to
those who participated in the American Revolution. For some, democracy
represented a particular way to order government, while others understood
democracy to be a transformative principle that would serve as the
philosophical bedrock of not just the new republic's political institutions but
its social and cultural ones as well.

Examining the democratic culture that was born out of the American
Revolution can help us understand the framework within which we continue to
debate the structure and purpose of the system of government that binds us
together today.
