Liberty Series: The Constitution: America’s Bedrock

Common ground is hard to find in today’s politics. In a society teeming with irreconcilable political perspectives, many people have grown frustrated under a system of government that constantly demands compromise. Increasingly 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. Constitutional scholar Yuval Levin discusses how Americans can recover an appreciation for the Constitution’s true genius and its potential for repairing America’s fault lines. Uncovering the framers’ sophisticated grasp of political division, Levin showcases the Constitution’s exceptional power to facilitate constructive disagreement, negotiate resolutions to disputes, and forge unity in a fractured society. Clear-eyed about the ways that contemporary politics have malfunctioned, Levin also offers practical solutions for reforming those aspects of the constitutional order that have gone awry. Founding Forward’s Liberty Series focuses on the principle of individual liberty, including economic, political, historical, and philosophical. Formats are usually lectures or moderated discussions. This speaker series was named in 2017 after renowned benefactor and philanthropist Jack M. Templeton, to honor his legacy and love of continuing the discussion on these important concepts. Founding Forward educates and empowers individuals to participate in and uphold the American system of self-government.
