Article Description
In striking down President Trump’s global tariffs, the Supreme Court demonstrated something far more foundational than trade policy: the endurance of a system built on checks and balances and a “government of laws, not of men.” The Founders understood that because people are not angels, power must restrain itself—and the president’s compliance with the ruling shows that this design still functions 250 years later. Yet legality alone cannot produce morality or flourishing.
