A path is an ordered walk through documents the library already holds, with a short piece of writing before each one saying what changed since the last step and what to watch for in this one. The library groups documents by movement. A path crosses the movements and argues a case.
Free, with no account, because it is made of documents that are already free. There is no schedule, no cohort and no discussion. The Founding Ten is the one path you can mark as you go, and only when you say you have read a document; the marks are yours and nobody else sees them. The other paths are arguments, and what you make of them belongs in your own journal.
The Founding Ten
Ten documents from 1620 to 1791, read in order: a people agreeing to govern themselves, then writing down the terms, testing them, and writing them again.

How the free American mind was built
Six documents across a hundred and fifty six years, in the order that shows how a people who govern themselves by consent came to decide what consent obliges, what it permits them to refuse, and what saying so would cost.

The argument was available
Four documents across a hundred and thirty five years. The reasoning against slavery existed in print, in the colonists’ own language, drawn from the scripture they claimed as a foundation, and it was answered rather than unheard.
