Why did the American Revolution hold where the French case failed? How can a society honour both individual freedom and the common good?


In this episode we explore these and other questions as we look at the notion of "The People" as a commonly held notion distinct from religion and politics. Elements such as agreed-upon traditional practices, unifying spearhead figures, underlying philosophy and theories, the understanding of freedom - all these elements of the "path" to creating a common sense of the people indeed impact the "outcome".


Reflection:

-How would I articulate to a friend how choosing to follow the structures of my faith are not an impingement on my freedom but a fulfilment of it?

-Spend time this week conversing with others about how they understand freedom, and how this interacts with the common good
