Columbus Center Information
The Columbus Center for Constitutional Studies is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-partisan, educational non-profit dedicated to spreading the principles of successful government outlined by America’s Founding Fathers. The Columbus Center advocates basic constitutional principles and prepares youth and young adults to teach other countries how to practice successful self-government.
The Columbus Center offers college-level basic and advanced training on history and principles of Constitutional government through online courses, workshops, conferences, and other events.
Our mission is to teach and promote an understanding of the principles of constitutional government and the rule of law embodied in the United States Constitution as written, established, and promoted by the original Founding Fathers.
“The principles on which the American constitutions rest—those principles of order, of the balance of powers, of true liberty, of deep and sincere respect for right—are indispensable to all republics; they ought to be common to all.” ~Alexis de Tocqueville, France

WHY THE COLUMBUS CENTER?
Although Christopher Columbus never lived under or participated in constitutional government, his commitment to the spreading Christianity around the world reminds us of the ultimate goal of free government: freedom of religion, or freedom of conscience. The “gospel of freedom” must pave the way for the spread of religious ideas and our efforts to perpetuate the principles of free government internationally will open doors to future religious outreach efforts.
