Liberty and Limits—A Fred Friendly Seminar

The federalist idea is America’s surest guarantee that the U.S. will remain a republic. Today, however, more than 200 years after The Federalist Papers were written, many Americans are dissatisfied with a federal government they feel has become bloated, intrusive, riven by factionalism, and enthralled by special interest groups. In this engaging series of Fred Friendly Seminars—hosted by Tim Russert, anchor of Meet the Press—prominent experts grapple with the perennial political issues that continually resurface in the news. A Discussion Guide and other resources are located online at www.fredfriendlyseminars.org/federalist. 4-part series, 57 minutes each.
