A Refresher Course in American Truths

Is it possible, at this deeply ideologically divided time, to articulate a set of principles of American constitutional democracy that those across the political spectrum can agree upon? This was our goal in creating, along with Drexel University law professor Lisa Tucker, a project we titled, "We Hold These Truths." Our objective was to have a diverse group of individuals draft these principles, to release them on the Fourth of July, and to use them for public education.
