October 18, 2023, 8:30 AM EDT - 2:15 PM EDT | Hosted by: Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge | Phoenixville, PA | Discussion Leader: Dr. Stephen Knott
The presidencies of George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson established precedents and dealt with issues of executive power. This seminar will examine documents from the Washington, Adams and Jefferson administrations including topics like the Alien and Sedition Acts and the Louisiana Purchase.
This program will be conducted as a Socratic discussion, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings, and with Dr. Stephen Knott facilitating the conversation, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants, therefore, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with
questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.
