Join us for “Equality as the Foundation for Liberty: Reading the Declaration and Constitution Together,” a lecture that will be presented by Prof. Danielle Allen, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014, at 1:30 p.m. in the Little Theater, Baldwin Hall.
The Declaration and Constitution are often thought to stand in tension with each other—the first promoting the ideal of equality, the second that of liberty. In this lecture, Professor Allen explores the argument of the Declaration to show the several ways in which it anticipates the Constitution and thereby draws equality and freedom into a close relationship with one another.
Prof. Allen is the author of Our Declaration and other books on various topics.
