The Alexander Hamilton Institute

The Publius Society, a student-run organization devoted to the study of the American political tradition, will begin the spring semester with a discussion of "What Would the Founders Think of Health Care?"  The discussion will center on such issues as party politics, partisanship, majority factions, filibusters, and the role of the federal government.

The gathering, which is open to the public,  will take place at 7 pm at the Alexander Hamilton Institute, 21 West Park Row, Clinton.  Refreshments will be served.

Participants are encouraged to read the following brief articles in preparation for the event.
