In Defense of Federalism: The Conservatism of the Constitution

By Alan Silverman on April 5, 2004

At a time when the principles of federalism are in disrepair, it is important to recall the centrality of these principles to our constitutional heritage and their intimate relationship with conservative thought. Today, of the two major political parties in the United States, it is the Republican Party that is identified with states’ rights. That [...]

Flattening the Tax Code: A Plan for Fiscal Fairness and Freedom

By Vijay Malik on April 5, 2004

April 15 is anathema to most Americans. This date is the Internal Revenue Service filing deadline for income taxes.

The Return of Reparations

By The Brown Spectator on April 5, 2004

President Ruth Simmons has exhumed the most divisive subject in the recent history of Brown: slavery reparations. The new committee on “slavery and justice” is in a sense a good-faith attempt to engage in the dialogue that never happened in the spring of 2001 when conservative theorist David Horowitz published an antireparations ad in the [...]
