How was our Constitution designed to protect liberty and prevent tyranny?  And how much do the Constitution’s protections depend on virtuous citizens? Join the Constitutional Law Center for a discussion of these important questions with Dr. Robert George, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Professor of Politics at Princeton University.  After discussing the structural constraints the Constitution places on political power,  Professor George will turn to the question of if and how the Constitution’s design presupposes virtuous citizenry, and the consequences of that issue for our understanding of civil society.
