I guess i think if they are looking at american politics, from the beginning straight through we can even go half of the several work, they areal talking the boat paradoxes and conflicts and improv. Tend to focust i on is the early part of the ark. His improvisational nature of that that really fascinates me more than anything else. The nation was founded and a world of monarchy. The United States is a republic. What that means was a super clear at the moment. People knew that they were trying to do something that wasnt that. Beyond that, theres a lot of open ground. There is a lot of improv in those early decades the boat what the nation is, how it functions, the tone of the government, how this nation is going to stand tough amongst the nation of the world and other kinds of nations. What does it mean to be a republic and a world of monarchy. How is this nation going to get any degree of respect and equally if not mo
Good morning. Welcome to the Wilson Center. Im the director of the Brazil Center here at the center. It is a pleasure to have you he here. This period is marked by i would say mostly difficult negative news with one good news at the very end of this period of six months which is the announcement of the agreement between the European Union 20 years in the making.

Its a complicated matter, but its important that the agreement has been confirmed.

It has taken the bureau ten years of careful planning and preparation to make this census successful, but there is still much more work to be done. The census begins in january of 2020 in remote alaska and then in march everywhere else and between now and then the bureau has to finalize its communications campaign, conduct Robust Community outreach, finish hiring trusted local staff and perform final testing for dozens of critical i. T. Systems. As outlined in our constitution, the purpose of the census is to count every person in the country, but given the chaos and the confusion and the administration has generated as a result to include an untested citizenship question, the bureau has significant work to do to restore public trust in the census and to ensure that the Response Rates do not decline as a result. We need to make sure that everyone is able to respond to the census though the new online form or in whatever way they can including people without good internet access. People
