This series presents the history of the US Constitution, from the preceding Articles of Confederation to the ratification of the 27th Amendment. Attend any or all sessions; please register for each session you would like to attend. Membership required.

This presentation will wrap up the history of the US Constitution by looking at the content and history of the remaining 17 amendments. One interesting note is that the 27th amendment was originally proposed to be included in the Bill of Rights but did not make the cut. It took 201 years to get this amendment ratified.
