Article V: America’s Hidden Constitutional Crisis

This event was a nonpartisan, free town hall program about the threat of an imminent call by the states for a new Constitutional Convention under Article V and its potential dramatic impact on personal and civil rights, business, state and local government, agriculture, education, healthcare, manufacturing, national security, and more.

Outgoing ACS President Russ Feingold discussed his co-authored book on the subject, The Constitution in Jeopardy: An Unprecedented Effort to Rewrite Our Fundamental Law and What We Can Do About It. A panel discussion followed, featuring Prof. Ron Lee, Ph.D. (Rockford University), Prof. Evan Bernick (Northern Illinois University College of Law), Dean Joseph D. Kearney (Marquette Law School), and Prof. Carolyn Shapiro (IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law).*
