The People v. the “Anointed”
Arguably, the greatest fear of our Founding Fathers was that over time power would tend to be concentrated increasingly in the hands of a few. Since the creation of the Republic, there has been a dynamic tension between two groups who hold very different and incompatible visions for this country and its citizens. Today, this tension is manifested between those who embrace the Jeffersonian vision of the people as sovereign versus those who prefer that popular sovereignty be limited to elections.
It is too simplistic to say the battle is between Democrats and Republicans; too simplistic to say it is between conservatives and liberals. This conflict is between people who want to be free to make life's decisions for themselves, and elitists who believe that they should be entrusted with the decision making for all.
A major portion of our policy research involves redefining the role, scope, and cost of government in a free society.
