Description

Peter speaks with Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, as he discusses his upcoming book, The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America. Through Hamilton's bold blueprint for a strong centralized government and Jefferson's fervent advocacy for decentralized agrarian ideals, Rosen reveals how their ideological battle not only shaped the Constitution's implementation but continues to fuel contemporary debates on federal authority, individual rights, and the soul of democracy.
