Summary

Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton fought for independence and they also fought each other. Jeffrey Rosen, former president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the battles Jefferson and Hamilton had over concepts of liberty and freedom, where they landed on states’ rights vs. a powerful federal government, and why their arguments still frame political battles we have today. His book is “ Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle over Power in America .” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
