People and organizations across the U.S. government, scored on how well their real-world actions align with the five founding constitutional principles. Click any card to see per-action evidence. How we calculate this.
Closer to the principles+1 on a [-1, +1] scale. Closer to the founding principles.
Mixed signalAround 0 on a [-1, +1] scale. Mixed or neutral.
Farther from the principles-1 on a [-1, +1] scale. Farther from the founding principles.
Score = average per-principle alignment over weighted actions. +1 = consistently aligned, 0 = mixed, -1 = consistently in conflict.
