According to the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the purpose of government is to safeguard our inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution the Founders later drafted therefore sought to secure those blessings "to ourselves and our posterity. Neither document talks about securing officeholders from the hazards of political opposition.
LOS ANGELES - Only about a third of American adults can name all three branches of government, and a third can't name any. Fewer than a third of eighth-graders could identify the historical purpose of the Declaration of Independence. This slim knowledge of civics - and the potential risk it poses to American democracy - captured the attention of retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

Thank God (literally) that, at least for now, the attempt to make it "legal" for homosexuals to "marry," for a man to "marry" a man, a woman to "marry" a woman, has failed. This failure has happened despite the fact that Gov. Martin O'Malley and Attorney General Doug Gansler were privately confident that "legalizing" homosexual "marriage" would be a slam dunk.

Theodore Roosevelt is well known as an imperialist. The common understanding is both too weak and too strong. Too weak, because Roosevelt idealized an imperialism that could last forever in civilizing savages. Too strong, because Roosevelt prepared the American-occupied Philippines for independence within a generation. This article analyzes Roosevelt's philosophy of self-government and reinterprets his Philippines policy in light of the philosophy. Roosevelt emerges as a reluctant anti-imperialist-an imperialist by desire but an anti-imperialist in governance. His imperialist ambitions were thwarted by America's ideals of self-government and its democratic political system, channeled through the powers of Congress and the process of regular elections. At a crest of imperial opportunity,...
