Few Americans have any understanding of the degree to which the Constitution’s safeguards are being whittled away . . . We need to remind them of their existence and hammer home the urgent need to bring the administrative state under effective constitutional control. That will be anything but easy, but it has to be done.
– James L. Buckley

We were pleased to bring our 2024 “Foundations of Freedom” Regional Seminars to cities across the country.

The United States Constitution is the foundation of the American republic, and the best governing document created by man. The safeguards it provides will be protected only as long as the citizenry continues to understand and respect them. Seminar speakers included top NR talent, constitutional scholars, and conservative thought leaders. Conservative voices and ideas can help shape our national discourse and expand constitutional literacy, which unfortunately is sorely lacking among our fellow citizens.

Conservatives from all corners of America, including generous donors and movement leaders, attended these events. Our guests had an opportunity to connect with other conservatives from their areas who share the values of the NR enterprise, including constitutional government, free enterprise, moral bedrocks, a strong defense, love of country, and defending Western Civilization.

Thank you to those who joined us for these events. If you have any questions about our Regional Seminars or other events and programs, please email events@nrinstitute.org.
