Fundamental Connecticut

In 1639, The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut declared that a government's "authority is in the free consent of the people."  This revolutionary idea earned Connecticut the nickname "The Constitution State" and inspires "Fundamental Connecticut," a new series about how our state government works today.

This series is a CPBN Partnership Production, paid for by the Robert and Margaret Patricelli Family Foundation.
