The Declaration of Independence lucidly and succinctly states the ideals underpinning republican government in the United States of America. These ideals are the touchstones of America’s civic life. At the same time, they have been subjected to criticism and denial in both the past and present. Our conference entitled simply “The Declaration of Independence” brings together public officials, notable scholars, and interested citizens to reflect upon and debate the significance of the ideals of the Declaration as they relate to the challenges facing our nation as we enter a new century. Given the significance of the subject matter to public service, the Conference encourages significant participation from individuals who serve, or who have served, in public governance. Panel discussions at the conference will deal thematically with topics rooted in the Declaration.
