Hamilton and Jefferson “are like golden and silver threads woven throughout American history—sometimes they cross, sometimes they are side by side, sometimes they pull so far apart that they threaten to snap, but it’s the productive tension on both sides of the thread that sustains American history.”
—Jeff Rosen

As we now find ourselves officially in America’s 250th anniversary year, we are truly honored to be joined by the legendary scholar Jeffrey Rosen. As the President and CEO of National Constitution Center and the author of numerous books, Rosen’s iconic body of work gives us a richer understanding of the tensions, rivalries, and principles that have shaped the American experiment. His most recent book, “In Pursuit of Liberty,” tells the vibrant story of how the tensions in the visions of founders Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton haven’t just endured since the founding—they’ve defined us.
