At a time when distrust in government is at an all-time high, and commentators are openly questioning the future of American democracy, what would the Founding Fathers think of where we’ve landed? In this interactive session, a faculty reenactor portraying James Madison returns to answer your toughest questions about what they intended—and whether their 1787 Constitution still works for today.
Expect frank talk about hypocrisy, power, and change—and come ready to challenge the mythology of the Founders themselves. If you’ve ever wondered whether we should still be taking cues from powdered wigs and quill pens, this conversation is for you.
