Understanding the Constitution

American Principles of Government

In 1787 the founders of our great nation met in convention in Philadelphia. The final product of their work, the United States Constitution, became the single greatest model for government in the history of the world. As a nation we have done far more to protect the physical paper of the original Constitution than we have protected and taught the principles that it enshrines. Those principles of government apply to all levels of government and were copied in the Constitutions of every State in the Union.

This enlightening lecture series covers the principles of government that the founders embraced and built into the Constitution. Students will learn how these principles are just as relevant today as they were 220 years ago – not only for our national government, but for our state and local governments as well!

The class consists of eight evenings of lectures taught by Constitutional expert Brian Ervin (President of Heritage Research Institute). The entire course will be presented in a few short weeks! While the class is a must for every American, this presentation is best suited for those at a High School Level and above.

"Riveting... a class full of ‘must know’ information"

"A class that should be required for every single American"
