Restorationism is America’s Formative Tradition — the discipline of repairing institutions that have drifted from their constitutional purpose. A Restorationist restores clarity where bureaucracy has created fog, restores accountability where power has blurred, and restores citizen agency where systems have become mechanisms of control. It is not a religious movement, but a civic one: a commitment to returning American governance to the architecture that once protected the citizen rather than managing them.
