About the event
The American Constitution begins by pronouncing itself an act of “We the People” and derives its legitimacy from its ratification by the people. And yet the people rarely appear in the text of the Constitution and citizenship goes largely unmentioned. Join Professors Nicholas Buccola, George Thomas and Susan McWilliams Barndt in this Dinner Program discussing constitutional culture and citizenship.
