In
America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding, author Robert Reilly makes the same mistake as many other conservative scholars: In his desire to win the argument, he sacrifices his audience.
He obviously intends to set the record straight about the American founding and address increasingly popular misunderstandings from both the progressive left and the traditionalist right that either see it as a power grab of white landowners or the beginnings of an amoral, relativistic modernist society. Reilly stakes his claim the American founding was a continuation of the constitutionalist, natural law tradition of which all Americans can be proud.
