A More Perfect Union: Inspiring Civic & Civil Conversations Across America is a one-hour PBS special created to accompany Ken Burns’ documentary series, The American Revolution, as part of PBS America 250 programming. Co-moderated by Jeffrey Rosen, CEO Emeritus of the National Constitution Center, and Melody Barnes, Executive Director of the University of Virginia’s Karsh Institute of Democracy, the program brought together the documentary’s co-directors Ken Burns and Sarah Botstein and Yuval Levin of the American Enterprise Institute. The discussion explores the foundations and ongoing development of the three branches of government - legislative, executive and judicial - and concludes with a spirited reflection on America at 250 and the meaning of America’s founding values today.
