Our Core Principles (based on the economic principles of Adam Smith, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, and others, and on the political principles of John Locke, the Framers of the U.S. Constitution, and others):
 

1. Free market economies benefit people (e.g., via an "invisible hand"*, or self-interest), states (when free to maximize wealth through innovation, human capital, geography, specialization, etc.), and nations (mutually beneficial free trade based on comparative advantage).

​2. The Constitution properly specifies, separates (into three equal branches of government - legislative, executive, and judicial), and limits the role and powers of the Federal government. For example, the 10th Amendment states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

3. Liberty (see, for example, The Declaration of Independence) and individual freedoms (e.g., the Bill of Rights) are vital to effective, enduring democracies and free enterprise systems.
