September Session: Understanding Popular Sovereignty

This session will focus on Popular Sovereignty, the concept that power originates with the people and that government authority is derived from the consent of the governed.

Dive into the foundational principle of the United States Constitution with our expert panel in the September installment of our "Ask the Expert" webinar series. 

In this interactive webinar, you'll engage with a live panel of experts and a high school government class to explore how this core principle empowers citizens to shape their futures and influence national decisions. Discover how the framers envisioned a system where informed and active participation in voting and civic life is crucial.

Join us to gain insights into the power of popular sovereignty and its impact on American democracy. 

Whether you're a student, educator, or simply a civic-minded individual, this session will deepen your understanding of how our government functions and the vital role of citizen engagement.
