For the 4th of July, Reflections on the Meaning of American Citizenship

The celebration of the Fourth of July invites us to reflect on what it means to be an American citizen.   Today, such reflection is especially necessary, because the meaning of American citizenship has been distorted by ideology.   As I observe in a new First Principles paper for The Heritage Foundation, these distortions can be cured by referring to the thoughts of the American Founders.
