Fault Lines in the Constitution
  • Date: Saturday, December 09, 2017
  • Time: 4:00 pm
  • Location: William G. McGowan Theater, Washington, DC

Many of the political issues we struggle with today have their roots in the Constitution. Authors Cynthia and Sanford Levinson engage young readers in the question: “Does the government established by the Constitution meet the goals it set out to accomplish?” in a program for kids ages 10 and up and their families.  Enjoy hands-on Constitution-related activities before the 11:00 a.m. discussion.

A book signing will follow the program. Purchase this book on the day of the event from the National Archives Store and receive a 15% discount (members get 20% off).

Reserve a seat

All public programs at the National Archives are free and streamed live online via the National Archives’ YouTube channel. Reservations are recommended; seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. The doors to the building will open 45 minutes prior to the start of the program.
