Sanera, Kickler take constitutional road show to Morehead City

Coastal North Carolina residents have a chance this weekend to learn more about the importance of the U.S. Constitution and North Carolina’s critical role in shaping the nation’s governing document. Michael Sanera, John Locke Foundation Director of Research and Local Government Studies, and Troy Kickler, Director of the N.C. History Project, will present their Citizen’s Constitutional Workshop, “What the Founders and State Ratification Conventions Can Teach Us Today,” Saturday in Morehead City. The Havelock News, Coastal Carolina Taxpayers Association, and Patriot Action Network promoted the workshop this week, and Kickler discussed it with Lockwood Phillips on WTKF’s “Viewpoints Radio.” In addition to his workshop topics, Kickler outlined for Phillips the history of constitutional originalism and the North Carolina Constitution. In related news, the Morganton News Herald published Kickler’s recent column on the late U.S. Sen. Sam Ervin.
