A message from Dr. Thomas Patterson of Harvard Univerity:
“Tomorrow, Sept. 17, is National Constitution Day— marking the 239th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. As in other years, it will pass largely unnoticed despite its significance and relevance at this critical moment in our politics.
I’m trying to elevate its visibility by encouraging people to take my free, nonpartisan HarvardX course on the U.S. Constitution (6 brief sessions).
I’d be grateful if you would share the link with your social media followers and others:

Thank you.”
I encourage you to take up Dr. Patterson’s opportunity! As your host on this podcast, I explain in this episode the background of the Constitution and why the American Revolution had such contrasting impacts on American and on France in the 18th century. You will learn how the French Revolution, while catastrophically different than the American, was brought to you by the American Revolution! –Rick Reiman
