The American Experiment

Exploring the revolutionary form of government created in 1787 and its evolution over time. These are stories and essays about the American Experiment through the generations – from the beginning of the experiment in the American Revolution and the creation of the U.S. Constitution – through the 19th century of relatively minor adjustments in the experiment – and down through the 20th century of more significant changes in the American Experiment. This journey might even encompass some exploration into the 21st century and our current generation. Because the experiment was started by the Founding Fathers, we will begin our story with a panoramic view of their legacy in The Legacy Papers.
