Is Rule of Law Enough to Protect Democracy?

Rule of Law has a long history in the human story. It has been implemented throughout history and in many different ways. American Democracy has depended on the rule of law and its traditions. What has changed, what’s it like to live without it, how much has been given away with the presidential immunity decision, how easily can we slip into autocracy, how can the law be manipulated, and more? This is a significant and challenging issue that requires our attention and action. Our speakers will provide what we need to understand this issue and offer ways to secure its viability and preserve and foster democracy.
