The Pursuit of Liberty: A Book Launch Event With Jeffrey Rosen and Jeffrey Goldberg
National Constitution Center President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen and The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg discuss Rosen’s new book, The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America. The book explores how the opposing constitutional visions of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton have defined the nation since its founding, shaped presidents from Washington to Trump, and continued to drive today’s debates over government power.
This program is presented in partnership with The Atlantic and the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History.
