Framing the Constitution: From Crisis to Closure (RR250)

  • Rye Free Reading Room 1061 Boston Post Road Rye, NY, 10580 United States (map)

In the midst of the American Revolution, the Continental Congress wrote the Articles of Confederation and formed our first government. But within a few short years, turmoil and dissatisfaction reigned supreme. Watch Rye Country Day Upper School Humanities Chair Clemmie Everett and a group of high school students vigorously debate whether our new country should remain a loose confederation of independent states or whether it should create a strong central government.  You be the judge! Join us on September 21 at 3 PM at the Rye Free Reading Room to hear the arguments and decide our fate.
