“Does Our Constitution Still Work? Resilience & Reform,” a webinar co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Montgomery County MD, and Montgomery History, will examine key challenges, both historic and contemporary, that test the resilience of our democracy. The event is part of the League’s long-running Trending Topics and Montgomery History’s History Conversations. Join these eminent scholars for a wide-ranging and lively discussion about the durability and resilience of the American Constitution. They will offer their insights from both historical and contemporary perspectives, addressing such issues as the separation of powers, the protection of democratic ideals, and the Electoral College. A moderated Q&A session will follow.
Three distinguished Constitutional scholars, Congressman Jamie Raskin; political scientist Dr. Norman Ornstein, emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute; and Dr. Holly Brewer, Burke Professor of American History at the University of Maryland will explore the durability of the U.S. Constitution following our contentious general election.
