It's The Great Courses' American Ideals: Founding a "Republic of Virtue".

Here's the description, from Audible:
An insightful 12-lecture course that explores the principles that guided the founding of the United States, the conditions that led to the break with Great Britain, and the creation of such founding documents as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.You'll deepen your understanding of fundamental ideas that inspired American independence and that continue to have a profound influence on American thought. You'll also receive insight into what historians call "the long conversation" in American society.

The regular prices of The Great Courses' audiobooks at Audible are already much cheaper than the prices directly from The Great Courses, except during a very good sale that they might have on occasion. With the current sale going on at Audible, the price for this series of lectures is half of their usual price--$7.47. The Great Courses happens to have one of those usual sales on this course going on right now, with 90% off of their usual price, and the price is still about $1.50 higher ($8.95) than Audible's right now.

As I mentioned in a post a few days ago, The Great Courses is the creme de la creme of the audio courses companies, in my opinion. And, this particular course is rated 4.3 stars, from 26 ratings at the present moment, at Audible; at The Great Courses it's rated 4.5 stars, from 65 reviews.

That's why it's my pick.

There are 12 lectures, of approximately 30 minutes each, on this audiobook. So the running time is approximately 6 hours.

Here are a couple of relevant links:
Audible's webpage for the course.
The Great Courses webpage for the course.

ADDENDUM: Use coupon code ROWH at checkout to obtain the promotional price.
