Constitution Day at Georgetown Will Include ME

Please join the Tocqueville Forum for a Constitution Day Roundtable:

Constitutional Morality?

Friday, September 17, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Inter Cultural Center Auditorium
On the campus of Georgetown University

Featuring:
Dr. Richard Hassing, Professor of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America
Dr. Peter Lawler, Dana Professor of Government and International Studies at Berry College
Dr. Jeffry Morrison, Associate Professor of Government at Regent University

In the 1992 Supreme Court case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Justice Kennedy gave a definition of liberty: “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.” What are the origins of this definition? Was there a Constitutional Morality at the time of the Founding that helps answer this question? In celebration of Constitution Day, three panelists will offer different responses to these questions.
