Thanks to your generous support, the National Constitution Center is able to thrive as America’s leading platform for nonpartisan constitutional education and civil dialogue.

You can make a difference with your year-end gift or by joining, renewing, or giving the gift of membership. Your annual or membership gift supports expanded online learning opportunities, interactive exhibits, and year-round educational programs for all.

The National Constitution Center is offering a series of America’s Town Hall programs about constitutional issues in the news. Join these programs for free from your home computer, laptop, or any mobile device by registering below.

December 3 | 12 p.m. ET

Carl Richard, author of The Founders and the Classics, Thomas Ricks, author of First Principles: What the Founders Learned from the Greeks and Romans and How That Shaped Our Country, and Caroline Winterer, author of The Culture of Classicism: Ancient Greece and Rome in American Intellectual Life, 1780-1910, explore the influence of the Greeks and Romans on America's founders and ultimately a new nation. Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, moderates.

This year, Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment—which would constitutionalize gender equality—arguably giving the amendment the required number of states decades after its drafting. The ratification deadlines have lapsed, but should the amendment be revived? Jane Mansbridge, author of the award-winning Why We Lost the ERA, Carol Robles-Román, former co-president and CEO of the ERA Coalition and Fund for Women’s Equality, and Inez Feltscher Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum join moderator Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, to discuss.

This program is made possible through the generous support of the McNulty Foundation in partnership with the Anne Welsh McNulty Institute for Women's Leadership at Villanova University and as part of the Center’s yearlong initiative, Women and the Constitution, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment.

December 15 | 12 p.m. ET

Celebrate the ratification of our first 10 amendments on Bill of Rights Day as we bring you inside our Constituting Liberty exhibit for a LIVE behind-the-scenes look at our nation’s founding documents, including rare printings of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. We’ll also quiz you on your knowledge of the Bill of Rights and answer your questions!

Classes can observe Bill of Rights Day together by signing up for a private live class with one of our top constitutional scholars. Teachers can choose from topics including a Bill of Rights overview; sessions on the First, Second, and Fourth Amendments; and more. Each session is tailored to a particular class’s interest and questions. Our scholars will lead a lively conversation on the chosen topic, plus answer questions from the students.

The Center’s new Virtual Museum Experience includes signature features of the on-site experience. Highlights include live, interactive tours of key spaces including our main exhibit, The Story of We the People; the iconic Signers’ Hall; the Civil War and Reconstruction exhibit, featuring over 100 artifacts; and our newest exhibit, The 19th Amendment: How Women Won the Vote.
