Our Projects
The Freemen News-Letter
Active Project
A Substack-hosted online publication, providing a space for an intellectual dialogue and dialectic on American society, American government, and American culture.
Fellowships and Internships
Pending Project
We currently live in an intellectual environment of serious and unhealthy philosophical orthodoxy, especially on our campuses of higher education. To encourage and support more heterodox voices in American scholarship, we wish to provide opportunities for fellowships and internships to students and academics to help provide encouragement in their studies and a safety net against orthodox backlash.
The Constitutional Compendium
Pending Project
A website listing and reviewing the great books, documents, and works that laid the foundation for the development of American constitutionalism, its establishment, and its development over the course of time.
Freemen Conferences
Future Project
Hosted events bringing both grassroots constitutional enthusiasts and intellectual constitutional scholars together to celebrate and discuss American constitutionalism.
Journal of American Political Theory and Constitutionalism
Future Project
An academically rigourous and peer reviewed quarterly journal curated, edited, and published by the Freemen Foundation.
Stare Scriptum Project
Future Project
Legal fellowship committees charged with issuing credible and compelling Amicus Briefs asserting the supremacy of the Constitutional text and intent over dubious legal precedent and championing the principle of non-delegation doctrine.
