SUMMARY:Alumni Discussion: Is our Constitution Broken?
DESCRIPTION:Do the rules that structure our government\, built from the Constitution\, still fit the times? \n\nThere is wide agreement across America on compelling concerns such as abortion\, gun control\, immigration\, the power of money to influence our politicians\, and the alleged excess power of certain bureaucracies. Yet the Congress has remained stalemated about them over decades.\n\n\nDemocracy depends on majority choice\, but recent Presidents were elected by a minority.\n\n\nInstead of empowering the great middle\, our two-party elections seem to be driven by primaries that favor fringe voices and disenfranchise the majority.\n\nHow is it that these rules of our road—derived from the US Constitution—excessively reflect the era at its formation with 13 original states – but do not account for the effects of the country’s growth\, the industrial revolution\, or now a tech revolution? So that\, for instance\, now a Wyoming voter wields 68 times the voting power of one in California? \nWe enjoy the benefits of being citizens in the ‘greatest country in the world.’ But is our democracy eroding because our Constitution is unable to evolve fast enough? \nDo we have a problem? Are there options to do better? What might WE do about it? \nAt this link you can find materials to prepare the discussion. \nEvent Information\nDate:  Tuesday\, February 14th\nTime: 10:00AM – 11:30AM ET\nLocation: iLab Room 102  & Virtual (via Zoom)\nThe Harvard iLab is located at Batten Hall\, 125 Western Ave\, Allston\, MA 02134 \nPricing Information\nClub Members | Complimentary\nGeneral Public | Complimentary\nNot a Club Member?  Join today! \n\n\n	Related
