The International Criminal Court claims authority over Americans for actions that the United States does not define as “crimes.” In short, the Twenty-First Century is witnessing an epic struggle between the forces of global governance and American constitutional democracy. Transnational progressives and transnational pragmatists in the UN, EU, post-modern states of Europe, NGOs, corporations, prominent foundations, and most importantly, in America’s leading elites, seek to establish “global governance.” Further, they understand that in order to achieve global governance, American sovereignty must be subordinated to the “global rule of law.” The question remains, should the U.S. Constitution incorporate these 

“evolving norms of international law.”

John Fonte is a Senior Fellow & Director of the Center for American Common Culture at Hudson Institute. The Center provides analysis & policy advice on civic education, citizenship, & issues concerning the interplay of national identity, the assimilation of immigrants, global organizations, & the future of American liberal democracy.
