In his inaugural address, which was largely about America's stance toward the world, President Bush's reference to the Homestead Act was tantalizingly tangential: "In America's ideal of freedom, citizens find the dignity and security of economic independence, instead of laboring on the edge of subsistence. This is the broader definition of liberty that motivated the Homestead Act, the Social Security Act, and the GI Bill of Rights.
Unpack the implications of those two sentences and you will find the core of conservatism updated for Republicans who think of themselves as a party of governance rather than of opposition to government, and who have come to terms with this fact: Americans talk like Jeffersonians but expect to be governed by Hamiltonians.

The very role of a board of directors in the system of corporate governance is to oversee a corporation's business and affairs, including its management, because numerous dispersed stockholders cannot effectively perform that function on their own. But if directors incurred liability for every misstep they took, or bad decision they made, it would indeed be rare to find a person willing to serve as a director. In Delaware, where the majority of US corporations are incorporated, the hallmark fiduciary duties are the duties of care and loyalty. But if Delaware corporate law is considered the national corporate law, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is perhaps best described as its smash sequel. While competent, good, or best corporate practices vary from circumstance, from company to company...
