Constitutional principles and ideas can be reduced to text, but each generation must give that text meaning. In The Interbellum Constitution, Professor Alison LaCroix explores the profound transformation that marked American constitutional law in the post-founding generation. As Professor LaCroix shows, the period between 1815 and 1861 was marked by significant debate on foundational legal and political principles that ultimately forced a substantial revision of the American constitutional vision.
In this book discussion, the UNSW Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law, together with the Greater Sydney Law Schools’ Public Law reading group, hosts Professor LaCroix, in conversation with Jeff Gordon. The session will by chaired by Jemimah Roberts.
The event will be held online via Zoom.
