Q & A Session

"You may submit questions from Monday at noon when the new week's material is available, until Wednesday at noon. “Question & Answer” videos will be posted on Thursdays. Like the lectures, these sessions are not live, and are available to view at your convenience.

You may submit questions to constitution@hillsdale.edu, or via Facebook or Twitter. Please include your name, city, and state with your email so we can identify your question. We will do our best to answer as many questions as possible during the time allotted, but we will not be able to answer all questions."

Superb Reading List.

Notice the reference to Christianity in the VA declaration. I'm certain the Framer's generation would not sit back as the virus of islam spread across our republic.

Patrick Henry fought Madison tooth and nail in favor of assessments/taxes for certain religious institutions.

You'll have a different understanding of the 18th Century meaning of Property after reading Madison's newspaper column.
