I'm Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center and welcome to We

the People, a weekly show of constitutional debate.

The National Constitution Center is the only institution in America chartered by Congress

to disseminate information about the U.S. Constitution on a nonpartisan basis in order to

increase awareness and understanding of the

U.S. Constitution among the American people. In recent months many women have come

forward to report sexual harassment and sexual misconduct by colleagues and supervisors

in the workplace, leading to a wave of firings, resignations, and lawsuits.

These allegations have implicated many high-profile men

from Hollywood to Congress, and have raised a series of questions.

What does the law say about sexual harassment

and sexual misconduct in the workplace.

What constitutional and legal provisions address these issues, what are the rights of the accused,

and what is the role of government in addressing these allegations, Joining us to discuss these incredibly important

and contested topics are two of America's leading

constitutional experts and leaders

in the law of anti-discrimination.

Gail Harriet is professor of law at the University of San Diego Law School

and a commissioner on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

She's also a contributor to our interactive Constitution essay on the 19th Amendment.

And of course I want we the people listeners to read the 19th Amendment essays in preparation

for this podcast.
