The U.S. Constitution embodies Western Civilization’s concept of “equality” — Do other civilizations? What’s the difference between “Concentrated Power” and “Separated Power”? And “Government of the people” verses “tyranny”?

In time for Constitution Day (September 17), and our national unity on the anniversary of 9/11, acclaimed history speaker William Federer will explore fascinating facts and on-air quizzes about our nation’s defining document:

• How many wrote the Constitution? Why didn’t Jefferson sign it?

• What’s the purpose of government? What’s the difference between the Federal Constitution and State Constitutions?

• Why does the Constitution, although based on biblical ideas, say little about religion?

• What is a Republic?

• Who was the Constitution’s chief architect (a future President)? Who was the Constitution’s ratifier?

• What did Ben Franklin propose when the Constitutional Convention became deadlocked?

• What was promised for the first session of Congress, if States ratified the Constitution?

• What did Washington add to his oath?

Is Islam Compatible with U.S. Constitution?
Federer will compare Islamic Law’s treatment of non-Muslim ‘dhimmi’ to Constitutional Amendments: freedom of speech… the right to bear arms… no quartering … no cruel or unusual punishment…no “slavery or involuntary servitude”… women voting… and even alcohol sales.
