The third pillar of a decent society is a just system of politics and law. 

Such a government does not bind all persons, families, institutions of civil society, and actors in the marketplace to itself as subservient features of an all-pervading authority. Instead, it honors and protects the inherent equal dignity of all persons, safeguards the family as the primary school of virtue, and seeks justice through the rule of law. Essays in this pillar address topics that include but are not limited to upcoming elections, the American founding, constitutional law, the First Amendment, foreign affairs, immigration, and religion and the public square.
