A Series from The Heritage Foundation

The Constitution of the United States of America has Featuring the Attorneys General of Presidents endured over two centuries. Yet modern liberalism and Reagan and Bush activist judges have rejected America’s core principles, denigrating some constitutional rights with which they disagree, and making up others. The future of liberty depends on America reclaiming its constitutional first principles.

Meese The Heritage Foundation’s Preserve the Constitution Series seeks to change America’s course by restoring the courts to their constitutional role—to protect individual liberty, property rights, and free enterprise—and to enforce the constitutional limits on government. Ashcroft Informing citizens on topics related to the Constitution and rule of law, this ongoing series will feature lectures, panel discussions, and other events with some of the nation’s most respected judges, legal scholars, lawyers, and policy analysts.
