> first-principles thinking

What does this mean? There are first principles in maths and physics, what are first principles in, what is this actually, political philosophy?

The first principles must be universally agreeable and indisputable, like 1 + 1= 2, what would be an example?

US Constitutional Law and the very specific field it has created. So, in this case, Articles I, II, and III of the US Constitution + 27 amendments.

Which, I concede doesn't fall under a narrow-definition of First Principles thinking but I think the term has been meme'd enough to allow for some play here.
