The United Kingdom and the United States: A Constitutional Dialogue

Richard Albert of the University of Texas at Austin, Nicholas Cole of the University of Oxford, and Alison Lacroix of the University of Chicago Law School compare the legal systems of the United States and the United Kingdom, including the ways both countries have influenced each other’s constitutional and political structures over time, from the COVID-19 pandemic to rising threats to democracy around the world. Lana Ulrich, senior director of content at the National Constitution, moderates.

The program is presented in partnership with the University of Oxford.
