Understand the true significance of American citizenship and how to defend it in this free online course!—Enroll today!

Citizenship, where power truly rests with the people, is one of history’s rarest and most remarkable achievements. But today, this foundation of free government is under threat.

Across America, we've seen alarming signs of decline: a shrinking middle class, disappearing national borders, divisive tribalism, an entrenched and unelected bureaucracy, the erosion of constitutional principles, and growing pressure from globalist forces that seek to override the will of the people.

These symptoms all point to a deeper crisis: the loss of the citizen.

In “American Citizenship and Its Decline,” historian Victor Davis Hanson draws from his book The Dying Citizen to explain how America’s current challenges stem from a forgotten truth: citizenship is not automatic or eternal. It must be nurtured, defended, and understood.

Over eight thought-provoking lectures, you’ll explore:

• The historical rise of citizenship in the West
• Why a strong middle class is essential to self-government
• How porous borders undermine national identity
• The impact of identity politics and tribalism
• The rise of the “deep state” and the administrative class
• How globalism threatens national sovereignty
• And most importantly, how citizens can still reclaim their rightful role

This course is not just a diagnosis; it’s a call to action. While the threats to American citizenship are serious, Dr. Hanson concludes with a message of hope: we can restore citizenship. But only if citizens like you understand the stakes and step forward.
