Happy New year. we start this year off bigger and bolder than ever! I speak with Robert R Reilly author of America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding published by Ignatius Press.
Mr. Reilly traces the intellectual history of the founding of the United States Constitution. The ideas of consent by the governed, no taxation without representation, voting rights and even revolution against tyranny are a natural application of rational and organized thought. When society deviates from rationality the will of the ego and power dominate and personal liberty is destroyed. Now, more than ever, it is important to understand what the Founding Fathers were trying to achieve in order to preserve the Union and our freedom.
Robert Reilly is unafraid to tackle the big issues facing American society today. In this in-depth conversation about the historic roots of the US constitution an appreciation for the true depth and magnificence of this document is rediscovered.
