Keeping the Republic: A Defense of American Constitutionalism

Archivist’s Reception Room

In person and online

Archivist of the United States Dr. Colleen Shogan will join authors Dennis Hale and Marc Landy to discuss their recent book, Keeping the Republic: A Defense of American Constitutionalism. Their central argument is that the Constitution provides for a free government because it places effective limits on the exercise of power—an essential ingredient of any good government, even one that aims to be a popular government.
