Five New Amendments: Next Steps for Constitutional Change

Join the Center for Constitutional Design at Arizona State University and and the National Constitution Center for a discussion of the amendments to the Constitution proposed by the National Constitution Center’s Constitution Drafting Project. This pathbreaking initiative asked three teams of progressive, libertarian, and conservative scholars to convene for an online constitutional convention. After a week of dialogue, deliberation, and compromise, the ideologically diverse delegates agreed on proposals for five constitutional amendments, ranging from term limits for Supreme Court justices to resurrecting the legislative veto and making it easier for national majorities to amend the Constitution.

In a conversation moderated by NCC President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen, leaders of the three teams—Caroline Fredrickson of Georgetown Law School and senior fellow at the Brennan Center; Ilan Wurman of Arizona State University's Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law; and Ilya Shapiro of the ManhattanInstitute—discuss the amendments and the next steps for constitutional reform. Stefanie Lindquist, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Design at Arizona State University, provides welcome remarks.

This program is presented in partnership with the Center for Constitutional Design at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law.
