In The Year of Living Constitutionally, author A. J. Jacobs dons a tricorn hat and sets out to understand what exactly the Founders were thinking when they wrote the U.S. Constitution. Join us for a discussion of his hilarious and surprisingly educational book. 

Then visit Iowa State University campus during First Amendment Days to hear the author in person at "America @ 250 Presents: Exploring Originalism: A Year of Living Constitutionally" on Tuesday, April 21, at 6pm in the Sun Room at the Memorial Union.
