A cornerstone of American government is the the political power of both the federal government and individual states. In this presentation, Dr. Jim Gibb will explain how this system came to be.

The relationship between states and the proposed national government plagued convention delegates. Some saw states as obsolete in the new system; others vociferously advocated for the continued power and authority of each state. In this presentation we will explore the arguments and the solutions that led to the system of shared sovereignty that we have today.

This presentation will explore Articles IV through VII of the U.S. Constitution.

This event 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.
