It turns out a lot, according to guest <strong>Prof. Jeffrey Rosen.<\/strong>&#160;CEO Emeritus of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, he&#8217;s a law professor at George Washington University and has traveled the country speaking to diverse audiences that share a deep commitment to our nation&#8217;s founding principles.&#160;<\/p>\n<p>Jeff quotes from memory host Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush&#8217;s great-grandfather Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis on free speech, and explains the thinking that the various founders brought to this experiment in democracy. Another highlight of the conversation: Enlightenment rational values were the driving force behind the Constitution&#8217;s emphasis on religious freedom for all. He doesn&#8217;t hesitate to point to where the founders fell far short of their ideals, but that fact ultimately offers hope for our time: we&#8217;ve come this far despite setbacks and mistakes &#8211; and so the conflicts and division of today don&#8217;t automatically guarantee failure in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/religionnews.com\/2026\/07\/04\/americas-founding-principles-and-the-fuxture-of-democracy-with-constitutional-scholar-jeffrey-rosen\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff\ufeff .image-caption { display: none; } .pod-stream-buttons { display: flex; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; } .post-thumbnail { display: none; } .stream-button { flex: 1 1; margin-right: 0.5rem; } .stream-button:last-child { margin-right: 0; } .stream-button a { display: flex; } .stream-button object, .stream-button img { width: 100%; height: 100%; } .wp-remixd-voice-wrapper { display: none !important; } [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30910\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
