  • American Citizenship and Its Decline: The History of Citizenship in the West
    Oct 2 2024

    On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the shifting definition of citizenship before introducing Victor Davis Hanson.

    Citizenship is rare in human history but essential to free government. Today, the constitutional rule of citizens in America is threatened by a new form of government, unaccountable to the people, in which power is held by a ruling class that seeks to transform our society. In this eight-lecture course, students will examine the origins and history of citizenship in the West and the grave challenges American citizenship faces today.

    Citizenship emerged more than 2,500 years ago in the ancient Greek city-state. Government by the consent of a free citizenry is rare in human history and on the decline today throughout the constitutional republics of the West.

  • American Citizenship and Its Decline: Introduction
    Sep 25 2024

    On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan introduce the course "American Citizenship and Its Decline."

    Citizenship is rare in human history but essential to free government. Today, the constitutional rule of citizens in America is threatened by a new form of government, unaccountable to the people, in which power is held by a ruling class that seeks to transform our society. In this eight-lecture course, students will examine the origins and history of citizenship in the West and the grave challenges American citizenship faces today.

    Free government allows human beings to flourish by providing citizens with authority and responsibility to pursue the common good. This practice of citizenship is under attack today by a form of bureaucratic government in which experts dictate rules concerning every area of life.
