Description

The U.S. government’s criminal justice and national security practices too often encroach on constitutional rights, rules, and values. The Constitution Project (TCP) guards against such encroachment by recruiting bipartisan committees of influential individuals, including experts with experience in government, academia, business, and the law, to address these issues and problems. TCP’s staff of policy experts and legal practitioners guide these committees in developing and advocating for bipartisan, consensus-based policy recommendations that will keep U.S. democracy strong. With Corporation support, the Constitution Project will undertake original research, develop policy positions, publish reports and statements, file amicus briefs, testify before Congress, and hold regular briefings with policymakers.
