What is America’s Heritage?

America’s heritage is a tradition of self-governing and virtuous citizens who unite in pursuit of unalienable, certain, and universal principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all. It is a tradition that is passed on to each generation, and each generation fights to make these principles available to all and to preserve them for future generations. Such a free society is necessary for true human flourishing.


This free society is grounded in the principles of liberty and freedom embodied in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights. These principles include:

  • individuals are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights
  • the existence of objective truth and natural law which govern all humanity
  • governments are instituted to secure the inalienable rights of the governed and derive their just power from the consent of the governed
  • good governments are inherently limited in the form of a republic with checks and balances and separation of powers
  • the inseparability of individual liberty and personal responsibility
  • justice under the law for all people
