C. Bradley Thompson has launched an impassioned attack against views of the American Founding which are current on the Right. Christopher Flannery, Clifford Humphrey, Richard Samuelson, Rebecca L. Heinrichs, Erik S. Root, Sohrab Ahmari, David Azerrad, Francis J. Beckwith, and Timothy Sandefur respond.
