Hadley Arkes on Mere Natural Law with Eric Metaxas and Socrates in the City

Is there a “law” hidden beneath the written law? Hadley Arkes, James Wilson Institute Founder and Co-Director, and Socrates in the Studio host Eric Metaxas sit down to discuss how the framers of the Constitution regarded the “self-evident” truths of the Natural Law as foundational, and how we as a nation can return and revive these principles.
