The United States Constitution remains a brilliant legal document as significant today as it was in 1789. To help us understand why, Rabbi Rocklin will answer the following questions:

  1. Why did the Founding Fathers prefer the term republic over democracy when framing the Constitution? 
  2. Why did the Framers insist on a clause that forbids Congressmen from adopting titles of nobility?
  3. What did James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton accomplish with the Federalist Papers?
