Will has attempted to discern the principles of the Western political tradition and apply them to America's civic life. Today the stakes could hardly be higher. Vital questions about the nature of man of rights of equality of majority rule are bubbling just beneath the surface of daily events in America. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Founders' vision articulated first in the Declaration of Independence and carried out in the Constitution gave the new republic a framework for government unique in world history. Their beliefs in natural rights limited government religious freedom and in human virtue and dignity ushered in two centuries of American prosperity. Now as Will shows America has become an administrative state just as destructive trends have overtaken family life and higher education. Semi-autonomous executive agencies wield essentially unaccountable power. Congress has failed in its duty to exercise its legislative powers. And the executive branch has slipped the Constitution's leash. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the intellectual battle between the vision of Founding Fathers like James Madison who advanced the notion of natural rights that pre-exist government and the progressivism first advanced by Woodrow Wilson the Founders have been losing. It's time to reverse America's political fortunes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpansive intellectually thrilling and written with the erudite wit that has made Will beloved by millions of readers \u003ci\u003eThe Conservative Sensibility\u003c\/i\u003e is an extraordinary new book from one of America's most celebrated political writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026gt;","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44786496536755,"sku":"9780316480932","price":2132.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477290869780316480932.jpg?v=1762803194","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-conservative-sensibility","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
