America is in transition. Similar to other transformative moments, this time is fraught with tension and conflict, angry rhetoric, and gridlock. But regardless of how contentious these renegotiations can seem at the time, in the past most have ultimately resulted in a stronger, more prosperous, and just nation.

We must enter this renegotiation with a clear vision of the outcome we hope to achieve. In this volume, we explore some basic principles we hope will advise the next chapter of the American story.
