The Making of America Seminar
Write your awesome label here.
The Making of America is an exciting look at the ingenious system of self-government that America's Founding Fathers discovered and then beautifully wove into a written Constitution. We begin by taking a look at the colonization of and the first permanent settlements in America, including Jamestown and Plymouth. We discuss what the Founders learned as they studied the civilizations of the past and how they implemented the correct principles of government they discovered. We trace the early days of the original 13 colonies from the writing of the Declaration of Independence to the signing of the Constitution of the United States. We discuss the key personalities and major topics in the Constitutional Convention and then discuss many of the provisions in the US Constitution itself.
The Making of America is a refreshing look at the solid political and economic principles from the Preamble to the Twenty-seventh Amendment. You learn, perhaps for the first time, how nearly every problem in America today can be solved by restoring these successful concepts.
