Join us for a lecture and conversation with Dr. Yuval Levin as he discusses the United States' Constitution's power to unite an increasingly-divided nation.
Common ground is hard to find in today’s politics. In a society teeming with clashing political perspectives, many people have grown frustrated under a system of government that constantly demands compromise. More and more on both the right and the left have come to blame the Constitution for the resulting discord. But the Constitution is not the problem we face; it is the solution.
