The Witherspoon Institute is happy to announce that the National Endowment for the Humanities (the NEH), a federal agency, has awarded the Institute $180,000 in outright funding toward our proposed website Natural Law, Natural Rights, and American Constitutionalism Online Resource Center.
This Center will provide a resource, presently unavailable, for those interested in learning about the role of natural law thinking in the political and constitutional history of the United States. It will put at the disposal of faculty, students, and the general public a comprehensive collection of documents with accompanying scholarly commentaries. These resources will be adaptable for use in courses on the philosophical foundations of American constitutionalism and the moral and political controversies of the American constitutional experience.
