The Original Debates over Constitutional Interpretation

Today, debate rages over how to interpret the United States Constitution, especially what role history should play in that practice.

When the Constitution was first interpreted in the late eighteenth century, what defined those debates? How do those debates compare to the ones structuring American constitutional law today?

Join us for a lecture with author and professor, Jonathan Gienapp, exploring how to read the Constitution through lenses past and present and reflecting on what the creators can teach us about the Constitution today.

Book sales, signing and coffee reception to follow.
