SUMMARY:[FAN] The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 10\, 2025\, 7:00 PM CT\, The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America\, a FAN webinar featuring Jeffrey Rosen\, in conversation with David Blight\, Ph.D. \nREGISTRATION: www.bit.ly/JRFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! FAN is giving away copies of The Pursuit of Liberty to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIn The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America\, bestselling author and president of the National Constitution Center Jeffrey Rosen explores the clashing visions of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson about how to balance liberty and power in a debate that continues to define—and divide—our country: Jefferson championed states’ rights and individual liberties\, while Hamilton pushed for a strong Federal government and a powerful executive. This ongoing tug-of-war has shaped all the pivotal moments in American history\, including Abraham Lincoln’s fight against slavery and southern secession\, the expansion of federal power under Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal\, and Ronald Reagan’s and Donald Trump’s conservative push to shrink the size of the federal government. \nRosen also shows how Hamilton and Jefferson’s disagreement over how to read the Constitution has shaped landmark debates in Congress and the Supreme Court about executive power\, from John Marshall’s early battles with Andrew Jackson to the current divisions among the justices on issues from presidential immunity to control over the administrative state. \nMore than ever\, the clash between Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian ideals resonates today in our most urgent national debates over the question of whether modern presidents are consolidating power and subverting the Constitution—the very threat to American democracy that both Hamilton and Jefferson were determined to avoid. The Pursuit of Liberty is a compelling history of the opposing forces that have shaped our country since its founding\, and the ongoing struggle to define the balance between liberty and power. \nRosen hosts the weekly podcast We the People and is a professor of law at The George Washington University Law School. He is the author of nine books and is a staff writer for The New Yorker. \nRosen will be in conversation with David Blight\, Ph.D. (FAN ’19)\, Sterling Professor of History and Director\, Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery\, Resistance\, and Abolition\, Yale University. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel. \nSponsored by FAN\, in partnership with The Avery Coonley School\, Avoca D37\, Baker Demonstration School\, Beacon Academy\, Bennett Day School\, Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School\, Brickton Montessori School\, British International School of Chicago\, Catherine Cook School\, Compass Health Center\, Evanston Township HS D202\, Family Service Center\, The Frances Xavier Warde School\, Francis W.
