Overview
This Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy major from Michigan State University raises complex fundamental questions: What does it mean to flourish as a human being? What are the rights and responsibilities of good citizens? What is the best way of life for society as a whole? It does not pretend to have the definitive answers to these questions but teaches students how to think about these concepts and how to approach these questions in a productive and intellectually exciting way.
Political theory and constitutional democracy is housed in James Madison College, MSU’s residential college for international and public affairs, which is a limited-enrollment program.
