What occurred as our Founding Fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution over 200 years ago? Dr. Jim Gibb will continue his American Revolution series with a presentation on the Constitutional Convention.

Before exploring the issues confronting Convention delegates, we need to understand how we know about discussions held in secret. The critical divide between “Small State” and “Large State” delegates pervaded those discussions. What’s that all about and how did it mold the Constitution? Who are “We the People” with which begins the Preamble to the Constitution? Understanding these issues necessarily grounds subsequent discussion of the negotiations and final Constitution.

This presentation will be held live over Zoom. It will also be recorded and uploaded to the St. Mary's County Library YouTube channel.

If you would like to attend this event live and/or watch the recording, please register with an email address to receive the Zoom link the day before the event. The YouTube link to the recording will be emailed to everyone who registers for this program.
