DESCRIPTION:Celebrate America's 250th birthday by joining us for a discuss
 ion of A.J. Jacob's 2024 book about his attempts to follow the original me
 aning of the Constitution. .\nhttps://alexandria.libnet.info/event/1536860

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The book blends unforgettable adventures&m
 dash\;traveling to the Capitol to personally deliver a list of grievances 
 to Congress\, consenting to quarter soldiers in his apartment\, and battli
 ng Redcoats as part of a Revolutionary War reenactment group--with dozens 
 of interviews from constitutional experts from both sides of the debate. M
 uch like he did with the Bible in "The Year of Living Biblically\," Jacobs
  provides a crash course on our Constitution as he experiences the benefit
 s and perils of living like it&rsquo\;s the 1790s. In the process\, he sho
 wcases the potentially dangerous effects originalism has on our democracy 
 as well as the progress we&rsquo\;ve made since the time of its writing in
  1789\, when\, for instance\, life expectancy was forty-five years and mar
 ried women couldn&rsquo\;t own property.</p>\n<p>Now more than ever\, Amer
 icans need to understand the meaning and value of the Constitution. As con
 servative politicians and Supreme Court Justices continue to argue for a m
 ore literal interpretation of the Constitution\, A.J. Jacobs provides an e
 ntertaining yet illuminating look into how this storied document fits into
  our democracy today.</p>\n<p>Burke Book Club meets on&nbsp\;the third Wed
 nesday of each month from 3:30 PM to 5 PM.&nbsp\; It is a monthly book dis
 cussion group through the Burke Branch Library.</p>\n<p>This program takes
  place by Zoom. After registering\, you will be e-mailed the link to join 
 this Zoom meeting. If you have questions about the program or need help wi
 th set up\, please contact Caroline at&nbsp\;cpak@alexlibraryva.org.</p>\n
