Founderism

Founderism (being a Founderist)[1] is an intellectual outlook that has a strong "reverence for the founders"[2] of the United States. The term is viewed as a pejorative epithet,[3] accusing those so labeled as having a worldview that sacrifices historical accuracy for turning the "founding into a fetish".[4]

The antonym "anti-founderism" is applied to those who "seem convinced that there was something profoundly wrong with the origins" of the state.[2]
