A think tank that teaches, writes, and litigates. Since its founding in 1979, Claremont’s strategy has been to teach the principles of the American Founding to the future thinkers and statesmen of America. Those principles include the foundational doctrines of natural rights and natural law found in the Declaration of Independence; the ingenious political science of the Constitution; and the popular constitutionalism or reverence necessary for the maintenance of free government. Claremont publishes the excellent The American Mind periodical.
