SUMMARY:Collisions between State and Federal Authority in the American Federal System
DESCRIPTION:In creating what James Madison referred to as a “compound republic\,” the framers of the U.S. Constitution established a political system that was bound to generate collisions between state and federal governments. This seminar will analyze disputes about the extent of federal and state authority throughout American history\, beginning with debates between Federalists and anti-Federalists during ratification of the Constitution\, and then exploring leading episodes when state officials challenged federal authority in the early American Republic\, and then analyzing various conflicts regarding the balance of state and federal power in the contemporary era. \nThis program will be conducted as a discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings\, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation\, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants\, therefore\, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.

SUMMARY:Slavery and The Constitution
DESCRIPTION:The most serious criticism of the United States Constitution is that it originated as a pro-slavery document. So what position on slavery is taken in the Constitution itself? Does the 3/5s Compromise\, the Fugitive Slave clause\, the delay on abolishing slave importation\, and other provisions\, evidence of pro-slavery exposure? Or are they necessary compromises designed to preserve the new Union until such a time as slavery could be abolished? We will examine the provision in the Constitution that focus on slavery\, considering those who argue it is a pro-slavery document and those who do not. \nThis program will be conducted as a conversation among peers\, discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings\, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation\, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants\, therefore\, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.
