In the crises of the American Revolution and the Civil War, the American founders, Ŭ and then Lincoln and the Republicans, Ŭ returned to a long tradition of Anglo-American constitutional principles. During the Industrial Revolution, American political thinkers and political actors gradually abandoned those principles for a set of modern ideas, initially called progressivism. The social crisis, culminating in the Great Depression, did not produce a Lincoln to return to the founders, Ŵ principles, but rather a series of leaders, Ŭ Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ŭ who repudiated them. Congress and the Supreme Court eventually followed their lead. Since the New Deal, Americans have lived in a constitutional twilight, not having completely abandoned the natural-rights constitutionalism of the founders, nor having completely embraced the entitlement-based welfare state of modern liberalism"--
