    Danielle Allen describes in her book, Our Declaration, the lengthy and difficult process behind the writing of the Declaration of Independence. But the process behind the Declaration mirrored the democracy it sought to create. In this commentary, we look at how democracy is a process and discuss how this process is lacking in our current politics.

    The well-educated Founders of America structured the new nation based on the classical literature of Democratic Athens and the Roman Republic that they had studied in college. And ended up with something they never expected. But it worked. And it has continued to work for 250 years. But now our political leaders are rejecting those ideas and principles. In this commentary we look at the sources of America's Founding Principles and investigate why our current leaders are abandoning them.

In this commentary we look at what they are saying and the policy implications of what they want to do.
