“What Was the Founders’ Original Intent: The Lessons of Europe and the Origins of the Constitution”

Professor James Lewis, Ph.D. Kalamazoo College

Kalamazoo College history professor James E. Lewis Jr. will talk about what the Framers of the Constitution meant by a "more perfect union" and how their "original intents" for the Constitution bear little or no relationship to our contemporary concerns about "original intent." Come learn about the Constitution you never knew and how the thinking behind it shaped American domestic and foreign policy for decades after 1787.
