Constitutional illiteracy is indeed rampant and it’s encouraging to see Bowdoin rise to meet this challenge. At age 65 (Bowdoin ’73), I am often shocked that younger people know nothing about our founding principles or documents, including a “The Federalist Papers.” I look forward to seeing how Prof. Rudalevige outlines the differences between the principles embodied in these documents and those that have given rise to the soft tyranny of progressivism.
