Ep. 118 — Avoiding the Pitfalls of Utopian Thought Constitutional Chats Presented By Constituting America

    • Education

Have you ever thought about our Constitution as a practical exercise in governance rather than an academic exercise?  What that means is the Constitution addresses real problems accounting for human nature rather than viewing men through a utopian lens as virtuous “angels.”  In Federalist 51, Madison tells us “if men were angels, no government would be necessary.”  Join our panel and Professor Joerg Knipprath as we explore how the Founders were realists who dealt with real people and real problems.
