Night Waves - Free Thinking: The US Constitution

Susan Hitch presents a special Night Waves Landmark debate celebrating the US Constitution. The US Declaration of Independence remains to this day one of the most poetic and resonant of all political documents. A panel of guests - recorded at the 2008 Free Thinking festival in Liverpool - including novelist and essayist Andrew O'Hagan as well as Florida State University's Diane Roberts, asks if America still honours its founders commitment to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'.
