Joseph J. Ellis focuses the conversation on the often-asked question "What would the Founding Fathers think?" He examines four of our most seminal historical figures through the prism of particular topics, using the perspective of the present to shed light on their views and, in turn, to make clear how their now centuries-old ideas illuminate the disturbing impasse of today's political conflicts.
THEME: Benjamin Carr: Federal Overture; Sinfonia Finlandia Jyväskylä, Patrick Gallois conductor, Naxos
