In this inaugural volume of the Alexis de Tocqueville Lectures, Ceaser traces how certain "foundational" ideas--including nature, history, and religion--have been understood and used over the course of American history. Three commentators challenge his arguments, and a spirited debate about large and enduring questions in American politics ensues.
