A Discussion led by Kendall Sharp, PhD
A Constitution: The Very Idea!
Join us for a discussion about the U.S. Constitution, constitutions in general, the difference republican government makes, and the way a constitution distributes sovereignty among the citizens. Depending on the outcome of the election, different passages in the Constitution may be examined. What should you be thinking when you read the U.S. Constitution? What remains to notice or to recognize, if you’ve read it before?
