The U.S. Constitution has been amended 27 times, but the original 1787 document still dictates the dynamics of federal and state governments in ways that most Americans don’t fully understand. The 1787 Constitution is arguably at the core of everything that is great about American democracy, but democracy only work swell when citizens understand how government works.
1787 promises to entertain while providing a deeper understanding of America’s essential history. Don’t miss the unique opportunity to revisit history in a historic place like Connecticut’s Old State House and discover the dramatic tale of high-stakes compromise that created the foundation for American democracy.
