Historian touts founding principles to counteract national cynicism

A Rutgers professor is advocating for a return to the founding principles of democracy to combat rising national cynicism. He believes that revisiting the core values laid out in the nation's founding documents can provide fresh perspectives on today's big issues. This call for a deeper understanding of democratic roots comes at a time when many people feel disillusioned with political discourse. By reconnecting with these foundational ideas, the historian hopes to inspire a more engaged and informed citizenry.
