  Democracy and Citizenship: The Principles of Freedom

Featuring: Dr. Bernard Bailyn and a tour of Mt. Vernon

Description: Throughout American history, the principles of freedom served as the foundation for the three branches of government—executive, legislative, and judicial—at the local, state and national level. They have framed the philosophical tenets of our society and shaped the civil rights debate on a world wide scale, including foreign policy. Join government leaders and preeminent historians as they discuss the parallels between the principles of freedom during the birth of our nation and the principles of freedom today as we close the book on the Cold War. Also, walk in the footsteps of freedoms' founding father, George Washington, as we tour his historically preserved home in Mount Vernon.
