Blount Mansion's Semiquincentennial Celebration Lecture Series - A Government of Laws and Not of Men The Structural Foundations of Constitutional Liberty

Blount Mansion is proud to present Dr. Josh Dunn of the University of Tennessee who will speak on "A Government of Laws and Not of Men The Structural Foundations of Constitutional Liberty." This lecture will explore the structural safeguards the Framers designed to protect liberty before the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution. America’s most enduring defense of individual rights arises from this constitutional architecture that diffuses authority and restrains the abuse of power. As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 84 that "the Constitution is itself, in every rational sense, and to every useful purpose, A BILL OF RIGHTS.” This constitutional logic, in turn, shows why a self-governing republic depends on the informed participation of citizens.

These lectures are sponsored by The National Society of Colonial Dames Knoxville Town Committee to honor America’s 250th Anniversary!
