On February 24, Charley Dewberry will give the fourth talk in the series “The Gutenberg Dialogues: An In-depth Look at Tyranny.”
During the revolutionary period of the 1770s, the focus of the Founding Fathers was on the “tyranny of the monarch.” By the 1780s, they were still concerned with tyranny but now the focus was on “the tyranny of the majority.” We will examine the concerns found in Federalist Paper #10 and see how the Founding Fathers addressed those concerns through the structure of the proposed U.S. Constitution.
