Equal Dignity

Human worth is not ranked by race, religion, sex, ancestry, wealth, identity, ability, or social position.

Reciprocal Liberty

No person may claim a freedom or protection for themselves that they would deny another under the same law.

Shared Citizenship

America does not belong more fully to one race, religion, class, faction, region, or form of family than to another.

Accountable Power

Political authority must remain limited, answerable to law, temporary, and peacefully transferable.

Prosperity Without Rule by Wealth

Enterprise and success deserve respect. Economic power does not confer political sovereignty.

Human Flourishing

A strong society gives more people the freedom and opportunity to develop their abilities and contribute.

Constitutional Self-Government

Political power belongs to the people. No leader, party, or institution may place itself above the Constitution or permanently take that power away.

Freedom of Conscience

Every person is free to hold religious beliefs or none at all, without government imposing a preferred faith or granting unequal citizenship.

Democratic Responsibility

Citizenship requires truthfulness, principled disagreement, accountability, and the peaceful transfer of political power.
