This ongoing tug-of-war has shaped all the pivotal moments in American history, including the Reconstruction Era debates about how the federal government should respond to rampant private violence against freedmen in places like New Orleans and throughout Louisiana. Rosen and Bouie will break down the opposing constitutional visions that have shaped our country since the Founding and highlight their relevance to ongoing struggles over the balance between liberty and power.Jeffrey Rosen is the President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, where he hosts We the People, a weekly podcast of constitutional debate.
