after the prestigious publications of successful graduate programs, designed to expose
students—both those submitting and those on the staff—to the rigorous and exacting
process of academic publication in a graduate environment. Only the highest quality
undergraduate work is accepted and published in Foundations.
The faculty advisor and the editorial staff, composed of undergraduate students, are
committed to providing students with a distinctly academic venue for advancing the
research, formal study, and public understanding of constitutional topics. Those involved
in the production of Foundations are dedicated to preparing undergraduate students
for law school and other related graduate programs through promoting constitutional
order and sensible notions of liberty, providing opportunities for meaningful expansion
beyond the classroom, and elevating students’ standards of academic work.
