Edwin M. Moseley Faculty Lectureship: 'Founding Edit: How a Rewrite of the Constitutions Preamble Changed the Course of America'
Thursday, March 6
5:30 p.m.
Gannett Auditorium

I am not a cautious man, Gouverneur Morris once admitted. Zeal, he continued, [should] always get the better of prudence. Yes, the penman of the Constitution never took the simple road; his was an adventurous, audacious life. He was as famous among the Founding generation for his dalliances one of which resulted in a wooden leg as he was for his prose. It was Gouverneur Morris who crafted the final draft of the Constitution and composed the indelible words of the Preamble: We the People.Those three words simple and so powerful changed everything.

All are invited to join Beau Breslin, Joseph C. Palamountain Jr. Chair in Government, as he explores the story behind the crafting of the famous constitutional Preamble and the profound consequences one small edit made for the future of the United States. Contact Megan Bove with questions.
