Summary:

Going back as early as 400 BC, the idea of a true republic has been threatened by narrow special interests taking precedence over the commonwealth. The United States Constitution was drafted to protect against such corruption, but as Gary Hart details in The Republic of Conscience, America is nowhere near the republic it set out to be almost 250 years ago, falling to the very misconduct it hoped to avoid. Full of original and incisive analysis, The Republic of Conscience is Hart's examination and remedy for the millions of Americans who feel jaded, confused, and disappointed by their current government. A testament to Hart's political faith in the founding fathers, this book is one citizen's attempt to recapture the Republic. Book jacket.
