- Do we live up to the character and ideals of American democracy?
- Does the U.S. Constitution reflect a balance between the classical republican concern with promotion of the public good and the classical liberal concern with protecting individual rights? How do we live up/not live up to the basic premises of liberal constitutionalism and democracy are joined in the Declaration of Independence as "self-evident truths."
