The Claremont Institute was founded 45 years ago in the belief that if the American Right is going to save America, its leaders must understand the enduring principles of the American Founding. We have now educated several generations of leaders to preserve and nourish the spirit of republican government: from preeminent scholars and college presidents to United States senators and prominent media figures. Our influence extends from the words of presidents to the minds of students nationwide.
The essence of Claremont’s work and spirit is its dedication to 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 and reverence necessary for the maintenance of free government. But while this dedication is necessary, it must be matched with action to restore and fortify Americanism, properly understood. Therefore, everything the Claremont Institute does is aimed at recovering the American idea—expressed most succinctly in the Declaration of Independence and defended most ably by Abraham Lincoln—and restoring the American regime (that is, America’s constitutional governance and way of life).
If we are to meet the threats to America and the American way of life, we must continue the vital work of recovering American principles and applying them politically to the most urgent questions of governance and policy.“
Ryan P. Williams, President
