The Declaration of Independence: A Radical Document (with Danielle Allen & Mary Bilder)
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Stay Tuned with Preetβs own podcast host.
What is the relevance of the Declaration of Independence today? Danielle Allen is a political philosopher and a professor at Harvard University. Mary Bilder is a historian of the American Founding Era and a professor at Boston College Law School. They join Preet for a conversation about Americaβs 250th anniversary and to reflect on the Declaration of Independence: what it really said, what it left out, and why we continue to debate its words so many years later.
Then, Preet answers listener questions about a swatting incident targeting Pete Buttigieg and his family. Plus, the latest on President Trumpβs efforts to curb mail-in voting.
In the bonus for Insiders, Preet, Allen, and Bilder discuss the Trump administrationβs impact on civic education.
