Course Description
Our Constitution is nearly 250 years old. And it's been amended only a handful of times, always in a piecemeal fashion. Conservatives and progressives alike have proposed a Constitutional convention to make wholesale changes to our venerable governing document. Is this a good idea? How would we go about doing it? And what might a new Constitution look like? Join Roy Klein as he explores these and other related issues. "Superlative teacher who knows his subject and presents it with humor. I will definitely take another class with Roy." - OLLI PatronCourse Info
