Wood, Brown University Professor of History and Chair of the National Constitution Center's Distinguished Scholars Advisory Panel, will discuss the Founders' attitudes and beliefs about aristocracy in America, where “titles of nobility” are prohibited by the Constitution, but where aristocratic elements of privilege and power nevertheless survive.  The men who espoused the radical idea that all are created equal shared the tradition of British aristocracy, and Wood will examine how their beliefs differed from and mirrored those held in England.
