Ep. 134 - Countdown to Constitution Day: Wrap up-Fixing Lack Of Constitutional Knowledge In The U.S.

Ep. 134 - Countdown to Constitution Day: Wrap up-Fixing Lack Of Constitutional Knowledge In The U.S.

It's been called "The Miracle at Philadephia." Though most of us, we hope, know our Constitution was an experiment in self-government, do we really understand how revolutionary it was in the late 18th century to create such a government or the struggles endured to see it signed and ratified? The Founders believed for this experiment to succeed, the document itself wasn't enough. The principles contained therein have to be in the heart and minds of Americans. In that way, those principles give the document life and animate it. According to our special guest, Dr. Jeffrey Sikkenga, Executive Director of the Ashbrook Center, we must reanimate those principles each generation and relearn them. Our American story is complex. It has heroes and villains, success and failure. At the heart of it is a document signed in 1787 that gave life to our country. Join Dr. Sikkenga and our all-star panel for this enlightening discussion in how we will continue to reanimate the United States Constitution. Check out the Ashbrook Center's new website: AmericanFounding.org.
