A.J. Jacobs in Conversation with Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado: The Year of Living Constitutionally

Join bestselling author A.J. Jacobs with Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado for a conversation about the Constitution, the future of democracy, and his new book, The Year of Living Constitutionally.

In a book that Booklist calls “fascinating and necessary,” Jacobs tries to understand America’s founding document by following it – literally, as it was written in 1787. He bears a musket on the streets of New York. He writes pamphlets with a quill pen. He consents to quartering a soldier. He becomes the original originalist. The result is “witty and wise,” says Kirkus Reviews, and addresses questions at the heart of our democratic crisis: How much should the Supreme Court hew to the Constitution’s past, and how much should its meaning evolve? Is the Constitution a document of liberation or oppression? Jacobs will discuss these issues with former congressman and current Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, a Harvard law school graduate and bright light of the Democratic party.
