Government and Political Education SeriesDirected by
Dr. Bradley C.S. Watson, the Center's Fellow in Politics and Policy,
the Government and Political Education Program is dedicated to the
restoration of America's constitutional order. This order is founded
upon the principles of the Declaration of Independence, which professes
a fixed understanding of human nature and, consequently, a limited role
for the federal government. State and local governments ought to bear
most of the responsibility for domestic public policy. As Alexis de
Tocqueville suggests in Democracy in America, the surest way to avoid
the enervating effects of administrative centralization is to
invigorate state and local government and to encourage private
initiative and sound personal character. Responsible citizenship is an
indispensable support for free politics and a free political economy.
The lectures from this series are published under the banner of Policy
