Supreme Court in Review: Article III Featuring Robert P. George

In tomorrow's Fun Friday Session, Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University, joins National Constitution Center President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen for a discussion on Article III of the U.S. Constitution. The session will explore the nomination and confirmation process of Supreme Court justices and how judicial power (and the Supreme Court’s role) is defined. Plus, we will take a look at some current cases before the Court. George will also discuss his career as a legal scholar and political philosopher, as well as answer questions from participants.

Constitutional Battles of the Branches

In our final sessions of the 2020-2021 school year, students will focus on separation of powers and how the Constitution set up a system of checks and balances between the different branches of government. Our Constitution set up this system to ensure that no one branch of government would become too powerful, but where did this idea come from and how has this been tested over time in America? From Andrew Jackson and the battle over the country’s national bank to modern conversations around COVID-19, students will engage in a lively and fast-paced conversation.
