Iconic Collaboration
“A few hundred years ago, a particular group of backwoods provincials gave birth to perhaps the best idea of all - a limited republican government designed to protect against tyranny. Their idea was radical and untried in human history - a system of governance based on freedoms, individual protections, assumption of innocence - one that favored merit over bloodline. This spark of an idea then smoldered for years until it was codified by this same group in the form of the U.S. Constitution, establishing a political gale which has blown steady across the globe through to today.
