“The reason why our Constitution and Declaration have survived is because people choose it anew in every generation. You need to know its history, you need to know what you are preserving.”— Justice Neil Gorsuch

As we continue our celebration of America 250, Justice Gorsuch shares his advice for the next generation on why knowing our history matters to preserving the principles of our founding.

⚖️🇺🇸 How do we protect America’s freedoms for generations to come? Supreme Court justices say it starts with teaching our history, the Constitution and the importance of civic engagement. Are we doing enough to prepare the next generation?

[Matt Whitlock @MattWhitlock]

Really awesome video series put together by @FedSoc of the Trump nominated SCOTUS Justices for America 250 - about what it takes to “keep America’s founding freedoms alive.” 🇺🇸

“We are not passive observers in the American project; we are participants in it. It is our project.…. I might suggest that people look at the last line of the Declaration of Independence, it ends with a mutual pledges in which the signatories to the document mutually pledge, their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to the success of the American project.”— Justice Amy Coney Barrett

During our America 250 conversation with Justice Barrett, she points to the Declaration of Independence’s closing pledge as a reminder that our government rests on our consent and depends on our participation.

[Kerri Urbahn @Kerri_Kupec]

Best thing I've seen in a long time. Encourage you to watch our Justices speak about the ideals that make our country great as we honor those who have served to keep it that way. https://t.co/lauZQpmqFz

“The enduring Constitution, the enduring Declaration, the connection between those two again are critically important for people to understand our liberty and equality and so that all of us together can live up to Lincoln’s goal of preserving government of the people, by the people, for the people, for the next 250 years as well.”— Justice Brett Kavanaugh

In our America 250 conversation, Justice Kavanaugh reflects on what it will take to carry Lincoln’s vision of self-government into America’s next 250 years.

[Federalist Society @FedSoc]

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served in defense of our nation and the principles on which it was founded. We are grateful for their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting our nation and the freedoms we cherish.

Happy Veterans Day 🇺🇸

In 1824, the Marquis de Lafayette, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison gathered at UVA's Rotunda, where Madison raised a toast to the Constitution.

Last year, we revived that tradition at the Antonin Scalia Memorial Dinner. This week, as we celebrate America's 250th, we raise it once again.

Professor Kurt Lash explains the historically rich tradition here:

“The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the people.” - President George Washington
