Register for "Recovering the Constitutional Congress"

November 19, 2022, 9:30 AM ET - 1:45 PM ET | Hosted by: Ashland University (Ashland, OH) | Discussion Leader: Sean Sutton - Rochester Institute of Technology

This seminar explores how the Constitution of 1787 shapes and structures how the people, through their Congress, reflect and choose the country’s policies, laws, and way of life. To that end, we will closely read the Constitution of 1787 to uncover Congress’ constitutional role, the extent of congressional power, and its limitations. In addition, we will consider how Congress, the people’s branch legislates through its committee system and adapts the “legislative process” to political circumstances.

All attendees of this free seminar will be provided with lunch, a certificate of attendance, and digital and paper copies of the agenda and documents reader.

"It gave me a better understanding of the Founders’ views. They saw that restricting religious liberty is not only wrong; it leads to animosity within society. This year, I will begin both my government class and my class on “Law and Modern Society” with George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport." — Sean B.
