What does a document written more than 200 years ago have to do with American life today?

Join us for a moderated panel discussion about how the U.S. Constitution continues to shape our rights, the powers and limits of government, and some of the most consequential issues Americans debate today. The discussion will consider the Constitution’s origins, its strengths and flaws, and how changing interpretations of the document have influenced American democracy over time.

A Q&A will follow, giving attendees an opportunity to ask questions and explore what the Constitution means for citizens today.
