This course of study examines W. Cleon Skousen's two classic textbooks on America 's freedom formula. The first of these is The Five Thousand Year Leap, a review of the political, economic, and social principles that every civilization must follow in order to become-or remain-a free people. The second text, The Making of America, unfolds the surprising background and the original meaning of our federal Constitution and shows how the founders used these concepts to produce the strongest, most prosperous nation on earth. If you already have the Five Thousand Year Leap, and/or The Making of America you can purchase the study course separately on this page.

It's essential that all freedom-loving Americans gain a working knowledge of the principles of liberty taught by our founding fathers. Learning these principles will put "fire in your bones," because they provide positive answers to nearly every problem now confronting our nation. Not only will this knowledge enable us to use our vote and our influence more effectively today; it will also prepare us to help rebuild America as we're called upon in the future.

We hope you will joining us in this exciting exploration of the original American "success formula."
