  Consortium</a></p>\n<p>Award-winning historian David O. Stewart discusses
  his newest work\,&nbsp\;<em>The Democracy We Must Keep</em>\, which explo
 res the question: What did America's founders say about democracy\, and ca
 n we remain true to their vision for America?</p>\n<p>Two hundred fifty ye
 ars ago\, passionate men attempted to create something the world had never
  seen before: a nation built not on kings or armies\, but on ideas where t
 he people ruled.</p>\n<p>David O. Stewart takes readers inside the nine ke
 y documents that shaped the formation of the United States&mdash\;from Pat
 rick Henry's thunderous cry for liberty to the carefully crafted design of
  a government chosen by the people\, with limits on all officials holding 
 power under the Constitution.</p>\n<p>Through the words of seven visionary
  founders&mdash\;Washington\, Jefferson\, Madison\, Hamilton\, Gouverneur 
 Morris\, and others&mdash\;Stewart shows how a fragile experiment in self-
 government took shape.</p>\n<p>Stewart presents a deeper understanding of 
 how American democracy started and the active role each generation must pl
 ay to uphold it.</p>\n<h5>About the Author</h5>\n<p>David O. Stewart has p
 ublished eleven award-winning and best-selling books of history and histor
 ical novels. In 2023\, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the W
