The Conservative Sensibility
Book • 2019
In this book, George F. Will provides a richly documented history and argument for a wider embrace of conservative political values.
He discusses how the Founders' vision, as articulated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, has shaped American political tradition.
Will argues that conservatism is under threat from both progressives and elements within the Republican Party, and he critiques the growth of the administrative state, the failure of Congress to exercise its legislative powers, and the erosion of constitutional principles.
The book is a deep and sustained reflection on American conservatism, emphasizing the importance of natural rights, limited government, and the transmission of Western historical heritage.
