Politics and public policy in the United States should be informed, framed, and guided by America's first principles. What are those principles and what do they mean today? This conferences is the first in our new series of day-long conferences at universities across America. Each of these events will focus on "First Principles and Public Policy," and will offer students, local leaders, and Heritage Members an opportunity to see how America's first principles hold the answers to today's toughest policy challenges.
