The Need for a New Constitution: Principles of the Constitution, Part 1

This is the first episode in our series on the principles of the Constitution as part of our Civil Discourse and American Legacy Project. Dr. Lester Brooks, American history professor emeritus from Anne Arundel Community College, explains why a new Constitution was needed when the Articles of Confederation proved inadequate.

The show’s theme song is “Complacent” by Cheryl B. Engelhardt. You can find Cheryl online at cbemusic.com.
