Civility and the Moral Foundations of a Free Society

Description In this discussion, we explore why leaders like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and James Madison believed that civility—and a shared moral or religious foundation—was essential for the American experiment. They argued that liberty requires personal virtue, mutual respect, and a citizenry capable of governing itself with restraint. This longer discussion builds on the themes introduced in the short teaser and looks at how these ideas still matter today, especially in a society struggling with polarization and declining trust. If you appreciate thoughtful conversations about character, responsibility, and the foundations of self‑government, you’ll find this a meaningful listen.
