Bill Of Rights: Factions w/ Dahliah Lithwick (Part Two)

All this month, we’re partnering with the Charles F. Kettering Foundation for a series called “Democracy Under Construction.” You can find out more about their work at kettering.org and listen to their podcast “The Context” at kettering.org/thecontext Our conversation about the Bill of Rights continues with a look at how the fight over the document led to the first hard-line parties in the United States. The ink was barely dry on the Bill of Rights when the founders split into camps, which would carry over to the other fights of the day. Dahliah Lithwick is back to discuss the partisan fights — and what it tells us about the two-party system we're still living with today.Be sure to check out Dahlia’s “Amicus” podcast and all her work at Slate.Join our America250 newsletter community!
