Description:
Join us for a panel in connection with Noah Feldman's book The Broken Constitution: Lincoln, Slavery, and the Refounding of America. The Broken Constitution presents a provocative account of how Abraham Lincoln broke the Constitution in order to remake it. It offers a riveting narrative of his constitutional choices and how he made them. This program will consider the question, "Did President Lincoln ignore the law and breach the Constitution to save the Union?"
