The Founders Club studies the history of ideas throughout the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. This historical project hopes to capture the events and conversations which inspired the framing of the American Republic. We want to key you in on what the framers were reading, thinking, and doing in order to create their political experiment which still exists over 200 years later! The great French philosopher Montesquieu once said that "the deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the principles on which it was founded." Here, we hope to revisit that history and revive those grand conversations and we want you to be a part of it!
