About this Event
The Center for American Civic Leadership and Public Discourse will present "Can the Constitution Unify Americans?" featuring Yuval Levin.
In a polarized, divided era, many Americans have grown frustrated with a system of government that feels stuck and unresponsive. More and more on both the right and the left have come to blame the Constitution for the resulting discord. But what if the Constitution is not the problem we face but the solution we need? How might better understanding the system and its aims help us recover the real meaning of unity in a free society?
This event is sponsored by The Center for American Civic Leadership and Public Discourse.
Doors will open at 5:00 p.m. The program will begin promptly at 6 p.m. This event is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is suggested.
