Investigating the Consent of the Governed
The second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence states that governments are instituted among people and that governments “derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.” What does any of this mean today? In this conversation, we will explore what it means to grant consent to the government and what it might mean to take it away.
This event will take place in the Grace Scatterday Room.
6:30 p.m., Dallas Public Library, Dallas
