DESCRIPTION:Join us for conversation with Professor Mark Peterson (Yale) a
 bout his new book The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution: A
  Thousand Year History.\n\nThis book charts the history and aims of the A
 merican constitution from its origins in an agrarian past to the grave cr
 isis we face today. Peterson traces the American constitutional tradition
  to the control of land in medieval England\, showing how the founders in
 corporated the aspirations of Magna Carta with the administrative princip
 les of the Domesday Book\, a meticulous survey and valuation of landed pr
 operty commissioned by William the Conqueror. This framework encouraged t
 he growth of democratic self-government but also institutionalized the co
 lonization of territory and the expulsion of Indigenous peoples\, establi
 shing a legal blueprint for transforming tribal lands into revenue-yieldi
 ng real estate for settlers. Peterson's riveting narrative paints an arre
 sting picture of a dynamic republic whose frame of government has changed
  enormously to meet the challenges of the modern age but whose written co
 nstitution has changed very little. Marking the 250th anniversary of Amer
 ican independence\, The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution 
 reveals how this widening disconnect threatens the very existence of our 
 democracy. It calls for a constitution that sustains the ideals developed
  over the past thousand years while meeting the challenges of the future.
 \n\nMark Peterson joined the Yale history faculty in 2018.  He earned his
  Ph.D. in History at Harvard University and previously taught at the Univ
 ersity of Iowa (1998-2007) and the University of California\, Berkeley (2
 007-2018)\, where he served as chair of the History Department. He is als
 o the author of The City-State of Boston: The Rise and Fall of an Atlanti
 c Power\, 1630-1865 (Princeton\, 2019)\, and The Price of Redemption: The
  Spiritual Economy of Puritan New England (Stanford\, 1997). He is now at
  work on Revolution's Ends: A History of the American Revolution for the 
 21st Century\, designed to connect the war and political transformations 
 of the late 18th century to the explosive growth in settler population\, 
 territorial expansion\, and consumption patterns that characterized this 
 world-transforming era. \n\nThis event is part of the "Worlds of 1776" se
 ries\, co-sponsored by the Department of History\, the John Hope Franklin
  Humanities Institute\, and the Bass Connections "Worlds of 1776" researc
 h team.
