Natural Rights, the Common Good, and the American Revolution - Yuval Levin

Descriere Natural Rights, the Common Good, and the American Revolution - Yuval Levin

The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary \nof American independence, yet the founding is controversial now in ways it has \nnot been in decades. \n \n\n \nThe American Enterprise Institute offers a major \nintellectual and educational project to reintroduce Americans to the unique \nvalue of their national inheritance. In the fourth volume of this series, legal \nscholars and political scientists examine the many ways in which the founding \ngeneration understood the unalienable rights immortalized by the Declaration \nof Independence. \n \nAlthough the Declaration described the right to life, liberty, \nand the pursuit of happiness as a self-evident truth, this characterization \nbelied the Revolutionary era's complex discourse on the origins of political \nrights and their role in sustaining a political community. \n \nDelving into these debates reveals how the \nAmerican Revolution encoded a productive tension between individual rights and \ncommunal responsibilities at the nation's founding.\n
