The Founders’ Warning: Why the Constitution is at Risk

Is the pursuit of happiness the key to saving our Republic? Gary Heasley is joined by Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, to explore the profound wisdom of the Founding Fathers. We dive into Rosen's latest book, The Pursuit of Happiness, and discuss how the classical definition of "happiness"—rooted in self-mastery and virtue—is essential for the survival of the American Constitution. In this episode: * The Founder's Secret: Why "happiness" meant something very different in 1776 than it does today. * The Classical Influence: How ancient philosophy shaped the minds of Washington, Jefferson, and Adams. * Civil Discourse: The role of the National Constitution Center in fostering non-partisan constitutional education. * Self-Mastery vs. Self-Indulgence: Why the Founders believed true freedom requires personal discipline. * Restoring the Republic: Actionable insights on how we can return to a more virtuous and unified American society. The Founders warned that the Constitution only works for a virtuous people. It’s time to rediscover the values that built this nation.
