The Introduction to the Constitution Seminar is open to any participant paying the tuition on a first-come-first-served basis. The seminar is intended to provide participants with a foundational knowledge of the Constitution, and with a firm grounding in its origins, purposes, and ongoing importance and relevance. The Seminar will focus on the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and its relationship to the Constitution, the debate over the Constitution's ratification between the Federalists and Antifederalists, the origin of the Bill of Rights, and such permanent constitutional and political principles as liberty, republicanism, federalism, representation, separation of powers, and checks and balances. It will include a discussion of constitutional interpretation from a nonpartisan perspective, and will conclude with a discussion of the meaning of citizenship under the system of government created by the Constitution.
