From free speec h to privacy\, from liberty and personal autonomy to the right against self-incrimination\, basic co nstitutional principles are under stress from tech nological advances unimaginable even a few decades ago\, let alone in the founding era. Constitution 3.0 will ask questions such as the following:\n \n \n Is privacy obsolete in an age of ubiqui tous cameras\, GPS devices\, and unlimited data st orage and processing\, or can the law somehow rest rict surveillance without crushing innovation and hobbling government?\n \n How vigorously shou ld society respect the autonomy of individuals to manipulate their genes and design their own babies ?\n \n Does the Constitution restrict the gov ernment&rsquo\;s ability to look within our brains \, and should it?\n \n How can we protect fre e speech and privacy in a world in which most spee ch is online\, where lawyers at Google and Faceboo k have more power over who can speak and who can b e heard than any king\, president\, or Supreme Cou rt justice? Should there be a right to escape your past on the Internet?\n \n \n There is no que stion that democracies around the world will chang e in response to developing technology\, as they h ave always changed in the past. But it is far from clear how that change will take place\, what form it will take\, and how effective it will be. In t his seminar\, we will identify the range of option s that judges\, technologists\, legislators\, and citizens have as they struggle to respond to techn ological shifts and to offer an analytical bluepri nt for translating democratic values into the twen ty-first century. \;\n \n \n Readings\n \n Readings are sent by the Institute to semi nar participants.
