Founding Values: Promises and Institutions
April 13 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Founding Values is an event series designed for ASU and the surrounding community to distance ourselves from partisan politics and reflect on the values represented in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.
The semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding, offers us a unique and timely opportunity to ask if we are upholding those values, and what we can do as a community to protect those values—if we think that they ought to be protected.
For this event, the panelists will reflect on specific values and institutions represented in the Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution. Drawing on interdisciplinary expertise across Political Science, Political Economy and History, they will discuss how these reflect America’s founding documents’ promises of Limited Government, Habeas Corpus and Due Process including for minorities; and “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
