Last week we asked the question, "What's the Purpose of Government?" This week, we'll expand some of the principles we discussed and move the conversation forward. What do you really know about American History? Like last week, the idea behind the question is more philosophical than specific. Last week, we distilled the question down to two primary considerations, personal interest and personal rights. This week, we'll talk about the concepts of trivia and real knowledge. With the help of Socrates, George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, we will build a philosophical framework to help us as we move forward with the colonial narrative in just a few weeks.
