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!
-Lecture starts at 6pm-The special speaking event will be at Blount Mansion Visitors Center, 200 West -Hill Avenue, Knoxville TN 37902-Light refreshments will be served-Limited free parking onsite-$10 Donation suggested at the door. Cash and card accepted-RSVP to Rose@BlountMansion.org
