The Columbus Center exists 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, together with proper regard for its subsequent amendments. We explore and teach American History with emphasis on the founding of the American system of government and viewed through the lens of the historical documents and literary legacy of the United States of America’s founding generation, research and educate concerning the lives, beliefs and practices of America’s Founders, and the basic beliefs upon which America was founded, with a focus on reaching out to non-native English speakers or other groups with limited access to the relevant educational materials, and provide access to materials in non-English languages by translating and publishing documents and educational manuals, as well as sponsoring various on-location, recorded and streamed seminars. The Columbus Center is affiliated with the Thomas Jefferson Center for Constitutional Studies, a for-profit organization, and the Benjamin Franklin Center for Constitutional Studies.
