Based on research from his two most recent booksâÂÂAmericaâÂÂs Constitution: A Biography and AmericaâÂÂs Unwritten Constitution, Professor Amar will highlight the ways in which the American constitutional experience has both drawn upon and broken with English constitutional precursors such as Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights of 1689.
