OpportunityTitle: This House Believes That: A U.S.-India Comparative Constitutional Law Debate Project
Description: The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General in Chennai (PAS Chennai) seeks proposals for a project entitled &#8220;This House Believes That: A U.S.-India Comparative Constitutional Law Debate Project.&#8221; Under this project, the grantee will organize and implement a multi-tiered program which will include a workshop, mentorship and debate competition in English that offers youth (especially law students) from South India (age 19-30 years) an opportunity to objectively and dispassionately deliberate important contemporary issues through the lens of U.S. and Indian comparative constitutional law. The program will compare, contrast, and provide insight into the salient features of the foundational documents of the world&#8217;s two greatest democracies. In the process, the project will interrogate the rationale and impact of democratic tenets such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press in an open, non-judgmental environment.
