LOCATION:
North Liberty Community Library Meeting Room

The North Liberty Great Courses lecture series is adapted from a popular Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center program. Americans wage many of today’s fiercest policy debates and culture wars as battles over constitutional meaning. Constitutional law implicates everything from abortion to same-sex marriage to the scope of presidential power in times of war. Quite simply, many of the most important issues of the day are ultimately questions of constitutional interpretation, and the Constitution rarely answers these questions clearly. In this program, you’ll examine pivotal Supreme Court cases to learn how interpreting the Constitution has radically affected American society. You’ll consider the Supreme Court’s role in deciding—and sometimes avoiding—questions of constitutionality. And you’ll investigate how changes in public opinion can influence how the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution. During the hour and a half course, you will view one or two videos out of this series of lectures and then the audience will engage in discourse about what was learned.
