Video Title

A Constitution for a Diverse Nation: Federalism and the Challenge of American Pluralism

Body

The United States has been a diverse, pluralistic nation from its beginnings as founders including Benjamin Franklin and George Washington understood.

That system offers a guide to resolving conflicts today from imposing national cultural policies on a culturally diverse country.
