Mission
The American Founding Initiative (AFI) aims to teach the principles of limited government, constitutionalism, and classical liberalism to the university community. The American Founders provide rich resources for reflection about how to protect individual liberty. Without a fair hearing for these principles, public policies will be hostile to the practice of limited government and constitutional government. AFI at Boise State University aims to be a rich resource for educators interested in strengthening the teaching of America’s founding principles and its rich history of liberty. We aim to ensure that students get the best possible education and that they understand how free institutions protect all American liberties.
