Constitution 201

Hillsdale College requires every student to take a course on the Constitution, as a graduation requirement. It also offers a version of the course online — not for credit, though there are readings, lectures, tests, etc. This fall, it’s offering Constitution 201:

“The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism” is a 10-week online course presented by Hillsdale College.

The course covers the historical roots and principles of progressivism; its rejection of America’s founding principles and Constitution; its political successes in the New Deal, the Great Society, and in recent years; the ongoing political debate between progressives and conservatives; and the chance of a constitutional revival.

I’m hosting a weekly video Q&A, as a part of the course. Class starts next week! Sign up now!
