Program Description

Event Details

Join us as we begin our series commemorating America's 250th anniversary. 

Our goal: by the end of the year, to tip our hats to a new Constitution.

If you could rewrite the Preamble to the Constitution, what would it say?

We'll start this project by first looking back at the formation of our current Constitution. Why did the Founders make the choices they did? What were their influences? What were they trying to prevent? What didn't they foresee? What do we know now that they didn't know then? 

What would you do different?
