What Would the Founders Say? by Larry Schweikart

If America's Founding Fathers could speak to today's most pressing issues, what advice might they offer?
In What Would the Founders Say?, bestselling historian Larry Schweikart explores contemporary topics—including the role of government, taxation, healthcare, education, immigration, national defense, and the Constitution—through the writings and principles of America's founders.
 
Drawing on original documents, letters, speeches, and historical context, Schweikart examines how figures such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton approached the challenges of their own time and considers how their ideas relate to modern public policy.
 
Rather than simply retelling history, the book encourages readers to engage directly with the
Founders' words and philosophy while considering how those principles continue to influence debates today. Whether you're interested in American history, constitutional government, or political thought, this thought-provoking volume offers a historical perspective on questions that remain relevant in the twenty-first century.
