De: David Michael Curtis

Tired of the endless political noise? Are you exhausted by the partisan spin that seems to arm everyone with talking points but starves them of principles?

The American Promise is not another voice in the choir. It is a different instrument entirely—a tool designed to silence the noise and amplify the signal.

This is Volume 1 of the groundbreaking U.S. Constitution: Our Common Ground series, a citizen's guide that systematically strips away modern commentary and emotional rhetoric to return to the foundational texts of our republic. This volume, Foundations of the Republic, is built on a simple, clarifying premise: that you can decide for yourself.

Inside, you will find:

• A Unique Q&A Format: The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 provides concise, powerful Summary Answers to the 75 most critical questions about our founding, each designed to be read in under a minute.

• Deep-Dive Analysis: Part 2 provides Comprehensive Answers to those same questions, offering a full-scale analysis (often over 1,000 words) that explores historical context, legal precedent, and the logical fallacies used by modern partisans.

• A Return to First Principles: This volume lays the essential groundwork, providing a rigorous, text-based exploration of The Declaration of Independence, the structure of the Constitution (including Separation of Powers and Federalism), and the complete Bill of Rights.

• The Bastiat Test: Each issue is also examined through the timeless lens of Frédéric Bastiat’s The Law, testing policies and precedents against the clear principles of individual liberty and "legal plunder."

This book will not tell you what to believe. It is a blueprint to help you build your own understanding on a solid foundation. If you are ready to move from being a passive consumer of narratives to an active and discerning citizen, your journey begins here.
