Constitution Project



Constitution Project
The Constitution Project is a non-profit think tank in the United States that builds bipartisan consensus on significant constitutional and legal questions. Its founder and president is Virginia Sloan. The Constitution Project’s work is divided between two programs: the Rule of Law Program and the Criminal Justice Program. Each program houses bipartisan committees focused on specific constitutional issues.

Liberty and Security Committee
The Liberty and Security Committee of the Rule of Law Program is co-chaired by David D. Cole, professor of law at Georgetown University Law Center, and David Keene, former chairman of the American Conservative Union.[2] The Committee is convened to address the “variety of important questions about how to enhance our security while simultaneously protecting our civil liberties.”[3] Members of the Committee have also authored columns for major newspapers on watch lists, the state secrets privilege, habeas corpus, and public video surveillance.
