Challenging the Growing Scholarly Orthodoxy on the American Founding 

Not too long ago, recognizing the achievement of the American Founding and the U.S. Constitution was a bipartisan undertaking. But many politicians and scholars now attack the Constitution-or they simply disregard it. 

Not all scholars, though. This book brings together a dozen leading thinkers who challenge this growing orthodoxy. 

Here you will find fascinating essays by such respected scholars as Pepperdine University's Gordon Lloyd, Catholic University's Claes Ryn, the University of Louisville's Gary L. Gregg II, and the late Peter Augustine Lawler. 

Defending the Republic honors the work of one of the nation's foremost constitutional scholars, Georgetown University's George W. Carey (1933-2013). Carey repeatedly warned about the importance of defending the Constitution and the political order it established-warnings that, now more than ever, we must heed.
