How to Take the Constitution Seriously 

In his 1987 book Taking the Constitution Seriously, AEI Resident Scholar Walter Berns critiqued attempts by judges and other legal experts to weaken Americans’ association between constitutionality and wisdom. Americans today, however, are increasingly inclined to leave the Constitution to lawyers. Although the Constitution is law, some of its most important implications for America’s contemporary challenges have to do with the ways in which it is more than merely law.
Please join AEI for the 13th annual Walter Berns Constitution Day Lecture, featuring AEI’s Yuval Levin on how understanding the Constitution as more than just a legal framework can help us better appreciate the charter that binds us together as a nation.
