President,
Independent Institute

For too long, the Constitution has been treated as the province of experts in black robes rather than the possession of the people who gave it life.

Drawing on insights from his forthcoming book, The Independent Guide to the Constitution: Original Intentions, Modern Inventions, author William J. Watkins, Jr. will explore the history and distortions of key constitutional provisions with Independent Institute President Graham Walker.

Mark your calendars and join this urgent online conversation about the Framers’ design of limited government and individual liberty!

Plus, get your questions answered in a live Q&A.

** by William J. Watkins, Jr. ([link removed])

“The ‘original intentions’ of the people who ratified the U.S. Constitution were largely unlike the ‘modern inventions’ under which we now live. With The Independent Guide to the Constitution, William J. Watkins Jr. makes all clear.”

—Kevin R. C. Gutzman, J.D., Ph.D., professor of history, Western Connecticut State University
