JUNE

June 4, 2012, 12 Noon at The John Locke Foundation,
200 W Morgan St., Raleigh
.  "Living With a Legacy:  James Madison and the Constitution."    $10.00 admission?  Overview:  James Madison is remembered today as the "Father of the Constitution" for the role he played in its drafting and ratification. Yet his involvement with the Constitution did not end with its adoption in 1788. As a politician and as an elder statesman, Madison spent almost fifty years attempting to explain the document and trying to make it work. Which raises the question, what can Madison's life with his own legacy tell us about America's fundamental law?
