Support the Claremont Institute's Fight for Lower Taxes
Dr. John C. Eastman, representing the Claremont Institute's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, today filed a lawsuit against the State of California for unconstitutional raising of taxes in violation of the California Constitution. Proposition 13, put in place 30 years ago by the people of California, requires a two-thirds vote of the legislature before taxes can be raised. The California legislature has recently attempted to pass legislation raising taxes by mere majority vote. The text of the lawsuit is found HERE.

Samuel Huntington's scholarship helps us see that American national identity—our creed, rooted in the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and sustained by our culture—is in a state of crisis, writes Charles R. Kesler in the Fall 2005 Claremont Review of Books.Pestritto on Theodore Roosevelt
If we want to understand where in the American political tradition the idea of unlimited, redistributive government came from, we need look no further than to Theodore Roosevelt and others who shared his outlook, writes Claremont Institute Senior Fellow Ronald J. Pestritto.Fr. James V. Schall on The Openness of the Christian Mind
Ken Masugi continues his series of Advent interviews with political theorist James V. Schall, S.J. The conversation begins with discussion of Fr. Schall's new book, The Mind that is Catholic. Fr. Schall discusses, among other things, what long and short books we should be reading, and the eternal relationship between reason and revelation, or between politics and theology.Helprin on Bush War Policy
The administrations of George W. Bush have thrown the country off balance, both politically and financially, while failing to devise effective war policy, writes Claremont Institute Senior Fellow Mark Helprin.Alexander on the Post-American World
Fareed Zakaria has been seduced by the conventional wisdom, writes Gerard Alexander in the Fall 2008 issue of the Claremont Review of Books.Derbyshire on Imperial Islam
It is a sad reflection on the current state of popular historical writing that one approaches any book about Islamic history with the question: what's the angle, writes John Derbyshire in the Fall 2008 issue of the Claremont Review of Books.Tartakovsky on Russia
With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 came not only the chance of opening up a closed society but the hope of opening up closed archives and bringing long-buried secrets into the light of day, writes Claremont Review of Books associate editor Joseph Tartakovsky.Samuelson on Political History
If the key to American history is American politics, is it not time that our historians recognized that reality, asks Richard Samuelson in the Fall 2008 issue of the Claremont Review of Books.Kennedy on Missile Defense
The biggest danger to our existence as a nation is not the global financial crisis, states Brian T. Kennedy, President of the Claremont Institute. It is the growing threat of the most powerful political and military weapons arrayed against us—ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.Thomas Joscelyn on Guantanamo
The new administration will soon discover from its review of the Guantanamo files what motivated its predecessor: The scope of the terrorist threat was far greater than anyone knew. Claremont Institute Fellow Thomas Joscelyn writes that President Bush, whatever his faults, protected America. Shortly, it will fall to President Obama to do the same.Yarbrough on T.R.
Despite what his enthusiastic modern supporters claim, Teddy Roosevelt was no conservative, writes Jean M. Yarbrough in the Fall 2008 issue of the Claremont Review of Books.For more entries, visit our Writings Archive...
