October 12, 2026 Amil Imani

Western political commentary frequently treats religion as a purely private affair – a matter of personal devotion, moral reflection, and weekend rituals.

But having grown up within orthodox Islam, studied its classical … Read more

CARDELLO: Maybe the Democrats Need to Read the Constitution

April 20, 2026 Ray Cardello

The Democrats love to claim that they are the keepers of Democracy and that they are the Party of the working class. Maybe they were 60 years ago, though it seems like some of the senior Dems have been in office since the Kennedy years; they could not be more removed from my parents’ Democrat … Read more

BOWMAN: Rescuing Our Law

December 28, 2025 Jim Bowman

Finally, a Fourteenth Amendment challenge makes it to our Supreme Court! This is in line with my long-held belief against these birthright citizenship rulings, which reward every lawbreaker whoseeks for her child to be born in “the land of plenty.” What should have been a Congress-enacted, time-restricted law, ensuring all the rights and freedoms of … Read more

Imani: The Terrorist Bill of Rights

November 7, 2025 Amil Imani

The Constitution of the United States is one of the most glorious documents promoting individual liberty ever written. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is also the first section of the Bill of Rights. It is arguably the most important part of the U.S. Constitution.

September 11, 2025 Hal Shurtleff

Wednesday, September 17, marks the 238th anniversary of the end of the Constitutional Convention, which created what Daniel Webster said was the “works of the purest patriots and wisest statemen that ever existed.” He, of course, was referring to the U.S. Constitution.

On Constitutional Rights and NH Law

March 25, 2025March 25, 2025 Isabella Peters

Growing up homeschooled in New Hampshire meant that after I learned my “ABC’s” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” my parents quickly taught me the “Preamble Song” by Schoolhouse Rock!.

December 4, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts is featured in the most recent edition of Hillsdale College’s Imprimis. The topic is “Populist Conservatism and Constitutional Order.” He opens with this.

Understanding the Constitution and Loving It

July 25, 2024July 25, 2024 Op-Ed

I was amazed to see the slew of commentary that followed the July 13, 2024, Trump event in Bethel, PA, and the canceling of Biden’s campaign. It worries me that people are talking rapturously about an imminent “next stage of American history” as if it will come about by “forces”. Or by “players.” Or maybe … Read more

The Bill of Rights turns 232 years old today.

May 16, 2023 Ray Cardello

The Basic Idea Behind a Constitution

April 11, 2023 Ian Underwood

The Ideas That Formed the Constitution: Sir Isaac Newton

April 11, 2023 Op-Ed

Article V Misrepresentation

April 5, 2023 Op-Ed
