Donald Trump's second term has brought to the surface long-term challenges that have tested constitutional government in the United States: partisan polarization, presidential aggrandizement, economic inequality, and conflict over who belongs to the American political community. Are the country’s present discontents unprecedented? What other moments in history have strained constitutional norms and institutions? What are the prospects for resolving the political battles that have fractured the nation? Join a panel of experts including the Miller Center's Sid Milkis, New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie, and Laura K. Field of the Brookings Institution.

This event is cosponsored by UVA’s Program on Constitutionalism and Democracy.
