Professor Barry McDonald Presents "Can the Constitution Protect American Democracy" -- Gonzaga Law School

Professor Barry P. McDonald presented "Can the Constitution Protect American Democracy" for the Gonzaga Law School Federalist Society Chapter on October 7.  Professor McDonald discussed the Constitution's role in preserving democracy in the modern era.

From Gonzaga Law Federalist Society Chapter:

  • Constitutions shape values, but can they enforce them?
  • Is democracy truly protected without an engaged public?
  • Join us for a wide-ranging and thought-provoking discussion!
