The Revolutionary Nature of the Declaration of Independence

May 28 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Join us in Nashville for an event with John Vile, Professor of Political Science and Dean of the University Honors College at Middle Tennessee State University.

Rooted in the principles of individual liberty, limited government, and free markets, the American founding continues to shape conversations about freedom and prosperity today.

Drawing from his book The Declaration of Independence: America’s First Founding Document in U.S. History and Culture, Dr. Vile will explore the origins and ideas behind the Declaration and assess how revolutionary it truly was. This discussion will place the document in its historical context while considering its lasting influence on the institutions and principles that support human flourishing.
