Dr. Akhil Reed Amar, Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University, sits down with Dr. Jeffry Morrison to discuss his newest book, The Words that Made Us (Basic Books, 2021). Amar makes the argument that America can trace its beginnings to 1760, farther back than many scholars claim. He also discusses the Northwest Ordinance, the importance of a written constitution, and why George Washington should be considered the Father of the Constitution. This conversation was recorded for the James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation on July 1, 2022 in Alexandria, Virginia. 0:00 Words that made us 8:09 Books about texts 19:07 Beginning of America 26:14 Rights of British Americans 31:57 Northwest Ordinance 44:43 George Washington 50:14 Chief Executive 1:00:15 Importance of deliberation
