Michael Compton on keeping the Republic

What does it take to keep a constitutional republic strong for the next generation? In this episode, we discuss Michael Compton, author of Keeping the Republic: A Citizen’s Guide for the Next 250 Years. Drawing from his grassroots work with Act for Missouri, Compton explores the idea that preserving America’s constitutional republic requires more than elections and political leaders—it requires citizens who understand and practice self-government. The book examines constitutional structure, federalism, God-given rights, civic virtue, and the responsibilities citizens have between elections. It also provides practical guidance for becoming more engaged in government, including how to: • Evaluate legislation and public policy • Follow state and local government • Communicate effectively with elected officials • Organize with other citizens • Hold government leaders accountable regardless of political party • Move beyond simply consuming political news The book concludes with a 12-month Citizen Action Plan, designed to help ordinary Americans turn political frustration into informed, consistent, and sustainable civic involvement. Join us as we talk about Michael Compton’s approach to keeping the republic through active citizenship and self-government.
