Roundtable on The Political Theory of the American Founding: Natural Rights, Public Policy, and the Moral Conditions of Freedom by Thomas G. West

Beginning in 2010, and coinciding with the opening of Hillsdale College’s Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship on Capitol Hill, the College has hosted an annual Constitution Day Celebration in Washington, D.C. to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787.

The two-day program—which features dinner and luncheon speeches, debates, and roundtable discussions—explores the continuing relevance of the Founders’ Constitution for American politics today.

At a time when the Constitution is largely ignored by an expansive, bureaucratic government, it is vital for citizens to learn about the principles of American constitutionalism. Please join us for these live-streamed events to understand how those principles have been undermined, and how to recover and defend them.
