Professor Robert P. George and Rafael Mangual explore the enduring foundations of American constitutionalism and what they reveal about human nature, power, and freedom. Drawing on the vision of the Founding Fathers, George explains why structural limits on authority—not just good intentions—are essential to preserving liberty.
The discussion moves beyond theory to the tensions between liberty and equality in modern America. Professor George also reflects on the state of higher education, making a compelling case for viewpoint diversity and intellectual humility on campus.
