Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) was a guest on MSNBC in the past week, and he was asked a question on conservatism by host Chuck Todd.

Todd asked, “A lot of people are looking at you as a future leader of the conservative movement. What is a conservative in your view today? Define conservatism in the twenty-first century, via Ben Sasse."

Sasse’s response was spot-on and nothing short of epic.

In the response, Sasse stated:

America is the most exceptional nation in the history of the world, because the U.S. Constitution is best political document that’s ever been written. It says something different than almost any people and any government has believed in human history. Most governments in the past said ‘might makes right’ and ‘the king has all the power and the people are dependent subjects.’ The American founders said ‘no, God gives us rights by nature and government is just our shared project to secure those rights.
