Distinguished Fellow Lecture
Britain, America, and the Written Constitution
SEPT 29, WED, 7:30 PM
In the 18th century, revolutions in America and France gave rise to written constitutions. Yet it was Britain, with its “unwritten” constitution, that arguably did more than any other nation to influence the drafting of constitutions. Linda Colley, professor of history at Princeton University and the Fletcher Jones Foundation Distinguished Fellow, examines this paradox. Free. No reservations required. Friends’ Hall.
