based on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>two pillars<\/em><\/span>. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>first<\/em><\/span> is the \u201cnew science of politics\u201d described by Publius in\u00a0<em>The\u00a0Federalist<\/em>.<\/span> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>It<\/em><\/span> consists of a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>complex and delicate constitutional architecture of separate and enumerated powers, checks and balances, and other devices of representative government in an extended republic<\/em><\/span>. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>second<\/em><\/span> pillar is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>more elusive<\/em><\/span>.<\/span> It has been <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>called many things<\/em><\/span>\u2014republican morality, civic virtue, republican virtue\u2014but in essence, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>the Founders believed that a \u201cspiritual order\u201d was a necessary precondition for their government to work<\/em><\/span>. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cWhat they had <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>constantly<\/em><\/span> in mind,\u201d Kristol said, \u201c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>was the willingness of the good democratic citizen, on critical occasions, to transcend the habitual pursuit of self-interest and devote himself directly and disinterestedly to the common good<\/em><\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Over time, Kristol argued, the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>agrarian ethos<\/em><\/span> the Founders believed to be more conducive to republican virtue and to self-government gave way to an <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>urban spirit of flux, experimentation, ambition, self-invention, self-interest, and, ultimately, self-seeking<\/em><\/span>.<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> The government that the Founders had <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>intended<\/em><\/span> to act as an <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>instrument of restraint<\/em><\/span> for the purpose of securing natural rights <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>became a mechanism for the satisfaction of appetitive special interests<\/em><\/span>.<\/span> The \u201cmiddle class\u201d took its place as the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>largest<\/em><\/span> special interest of all.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">By the middle of the 20th century, Kristol said, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>in words that echo in the present<\/em><\/span>, the American people were \u201cbehaving in a way that would have <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>alarmed<\/em><\/span> the founding fathers even as it would have <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>astonished<\/em><\/span> them.<\/span> To put it bluntly, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>they are more and more behaving like a collection of mobs<\/em><\/span>.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8230;<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>In the <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">absence of institutions that cultivate republican virtue and leaders<\/span> who model it<\/em>, Americans, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>young ones in particular<\/em><\/span>, have turned to the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>moral certitudes of the new progressivism<\/em><\/span>. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It is the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>failure of American elites to articulate a compelling justification for the state of our economy and society that has brought the nation to this perilous impasse<\/em><\/span>.<\/span> And <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>until<\/em><\/span> the defenders of the Founding are able to explain, in language persuasive to every American, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>why<\/em><\/span> both constitutionalism and republican virtue <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>are necessary for freedom and order and justice<\/em><\/span>, they will <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>continue<\/em><\/span> to be <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>on the defensive<\/em><\/span>. <span
