Ilan Wurman on The Constitution of 1789: A New Introduction

In this episode, Constitutional scholar Ilan Wurman joins for a conversation on his new book, The Constitution of 1789: A New Introduction. Written to coincide with the semiquincentennial of American independence, the book offers a fresh examination of the Constitution’s origins, structure, separation of powers, and the relationship between the Constitution and the American founding. Wurman explores how the Constitution was understood at its creation and the questions that have animated constitutional debates for over two centuries. Julie Silverbrook, chief content and learning officer at the National Constitution Center, moderates.  Resources   The Constitution of 1789: A New Introduction Stay Connected and Learn More  Stay connected with Live at the National Constitution Center—follow, rate, and review the show wherever you listen.  Questions or comments?
