Sept 15/Cleveland OH - What Constitution Have I? Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Moral Imperative of Constitutionalism

In Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe had her character, George Harris,
inquire "What Country Have I?" But the effect of her influential novel was to
demonstrate that the real question is "What Constitution Have I?" and that the
moral imperative of constitutionalism prevails over national identity. Professor
W. B. Allen, a prolific scholar in the field of political philosophy, will
explore the implications of Stowe's teaching in our time.
