Jeffrey Rosen, President & CEO of the National Constitution Center and author of The Pursuit of Happiness: How Classical Writers on Virtue Inspired the Lives of the Founders and Defined America, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Jeffrey discuss the Greek and Roman roots of early American political thought, why the founders focused on the pursuit of "virtue," why classical education has become partisan in the 21st century, and the role of education and self-development in the formation of leaders.
