Given the overwhelming response to LWV-Greenwich’s 2021 National Community Case Discussion, we are honored to welcome back Harvard Business School Professor David Moss to moderate this encore event: a discussion of “James Madison, the ‘Federal Negative’ and the Making of the U.S. Constitution.” This event will be presented via Zoom.

This case centers around a pivotal debate at the Constitutional Convention of 1787:

- Should the federal government have veto power over state laws?
- How much power - and what kind of power - should the federal government have over states?

These are questions that have both historical significance and modern resonance. Participants will read the short case in advance of the event and come prepared to discuss and debate it.

As in past years, adults will join with Greenwich high school students for this intergenerational conversation. We will also be welcoming League members and high school teachers from around the country to participate in the discussion.
