The First Amendment
or How to Become a Political Animal

Meg Mott, professor of politics at Marlboro College
Talk About Our Democracy- Via Zoom
Monday July 27- 6:30pm

Meg says: Aristotle loved democracy because he saw how it gave citizens the habits of "political animals." The First Amendment to the Constitution describes the process of becoming an actualized citizen. It begins with the freedom to follow a higher moral standard (freedom of religion) and ends with political protest (freedom to petition the government for a redress of grievances). This Zoom talk will consider how the Framers understood these First Freedoms and how we might think about them today. Fortunately, the technology permits for democratic engagement. Participants will have a chance to reflect on their individual paths to becoming a political being.

Thanks to Meg for helping to continue our last Monday of the month TAOD meetings at the Marlboro Community Center. Zoom in.
