Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland John Wallis, Ph.D., will give a lecture called “The Many American Constitutions.” This lecture is presented by the Institute for Governance and Civics. 

"The United States has a famously federal government structure. Less appreciated is its federal constitutional structure, with one national constitution and, today, fifty state constitutions. This talk will explore how we might rethink the role the national constitution played in American history in light of the concurrent state constitutions."
