America’s Forgotten Constitutions: Defiant Visions of Power and Community by Robert Tsai (This book is being published by Harvard University Press)

The U.S. Constitution opens by proclaiming the sovereignty of all citizens: "We the People." Join us as Robert Tsai discusses his book America’s Forgotten Constitution and history of alternative constitutions and those who have rejected this ringing assertion--the defiant groups that refused to accept the Constitution's definition of who "the people" are and how their authority should be exercised. A book signing will follow the program.
