Why did we fight the American Revolution? What was the conflict created by the English Constitution of the 17th Century and the British Constitution of the 18th Century, and how did Americans solve this conflict by writing down their constitutions? What are the implications for judicial power? And what happens when courts get things wrong, as they did in America's early battles against slavery? What should the role of the courts be today? This talk, from one of America's leading constitutional law professors, will captivate audiences and inspire about America's national origins and its ongoing experiment in self-government.
