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 Constitution among the American people.

In this week's episode I sat down with Franklin IV, National Correspondent for the Atlantic, to discuss how tech platforms like Facebook, Apple, Amazon, and Google

have transformed the way we think and could be challenging constitutional values.

Enjoy.

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the National Constitution Center.

I am so glad that you've come tonight for an evening that I've been looking forward to more than I can say.

Frankfort is my old friend, my long time editor at the New Republic magazine,

and he's written a spectacular book.

His last visit to the National Constitution Center

to discuss his wonderful anthology of New Republic essays

was one of the great conversations

we've ever had.

And I've just so been looking forward

to sharing this amazing book with you

and introducing you to the wonder of Frank's mind and his insights.

So thank you for coming and I think you're in for a treat.

A couple plugs for upcoming programs.
