The Freedom Index is a vital educational resource dedicated to promoting accountability among America’s lawmakers by evaluating their adherence to the U. S. Constitution and foundational principles.

Offered by The New American as part of the John Birch Society's initiatives, the Freedom Index provides congressional and state legislative scorecards that assess how elected officials vote on critical issues related to limited government, fiscal responsibility, and constitutional rights. The indexes are systematically updated and published twice a year, featuring ten significant federal votes and six pivotal state votes from each legislative session. By presenting clear summaries and explanations of these votes, the Freedom Index facilitates an informed electorate, enabling citizens to actively engage with their representatives’ legislative decisions.

The nonpartisan approach ensures that the focus remains on constitutional fidelity rather than political allegiance. With user-friendly design elements, scorecards can easily be personalized and shared, empowering American voters to hold their representatives accountable for their commitment to freedom and the Constitution's principles
