statue of the president of the confederacy in would be jefferson davis, across the hall there's alexander hamilton stevens the vice president of the confederacy, one level below in the crypt of the united states capitol. robert e. lee across the way from him, john ccalhoun, a major force on the side of the confederacy, leading up to t war. so the call for these removals of these statues is complicated. jim and shawn, every state is allowed to place two statues into the united states capitol, as part of the united states capitol statuary hall collection. however, it is up to those states to decide who they select. now, states can put a statue in, they can take a statue out. they can only have two at one time. so it is not quite clear now, if congress itself can actually force a state to remove a one of its statues. interestingly enough, only a couple of years ago, president obama was here when they placed the statue of rosa parks inside a statuary hall. fittingly and symbolically, they placed that statue of a seated rosa park as directly across statuary hall looking directly into the eyes of jeffer

i would say madison, hamilton and wilson were the most important, and this is alexander hamilton. we like to say of hamilton what i lacked in stature he made up in fiscal responsibility. he was the secretary of the treasury. he was a great defender both of -- an energetic central government that would be strong enough to regulate the economy. some accused him of being monarchal in his tendencies and he would have favored a stronger executive than the one that ultimately result. hamilton like madison was one of the authors of the federalist papers which were the documents issued anonymously to give the arguments for and against ratification of the constitution after it was proposed. hamilton had many great contributions in "the federalist papers" not least of which was his theory of why it is okay for courts to strike down unconstitutional laws. federalists 78 which hamilton wrote contains the whole philosophy of the american government in a few paragraphs. it says the will of we the people of the united states is represented by the constitution because of the special ratification p

in his argument justifying the bank of the united states, alexander hamilton invoked the argument that these states believe that congress had inherent power to create trade companies or corporations but believed that the power shouldn't be used to grant exclusive privileges. nevertheless, jefferson insisted that hamilton's bank of the constitution because the notion that congress had implied powers to charter corporations clashed with the tenth amendment. the nationalist marshall rejected this argument in the case. marshall's biographer james bradley thayer was brandeis' favorite teacher. in law school and the great advocate of judicial abstinence. in the short biography of marshall, he described jefferson's excitement in 1810 when he concluded, we have a chance of getting a republican majority in the supreme judiciary. he expressed his confidence in the appointment of a decide republican, with nothing equivocal about him. jefferson suggested judge tyler of virginia, reminding president madison of marshall's hostility to the country. madison appointed joseph story who jefferson called

[sirens] in the period of the new deal, franklin roosevelt, a liberal, did not like what the supreme court is doing. and you had a. which is an interest. in the history of the court called the lochner era because of a 1905 case where they struck down some new york social legislation that prohibited bakers from working a certain number of hours every day. and or every week. the supreme court said that it interferes with the freedom of contract and it interferes with the process you cannot tell an employer and a worker what kind of contract to make for themselves. and later that was discredited but yet a whole series of cases with which were largely 5 to 4 franklin roosevelt it is with decisions not under the constitution but over the constitution. where they struck down a new deal legislation. so what was roosevelt's solution? it was to pack the court, his solution was to attack the independence of the judiciary. so he introduced a bill in the senate which is opponents referred to as t

one of the major economic advantages of the u.s., it has been an advantage since alexander hamilton was treasury secretary and decided to pay a hundred percent on the dollar for the revolutionary war debt because we pay our debts. it means we enjoy the lowest interest rates in the world. we can borrow money and do anything. space,huttles to go into have high-tech investments. defend ourselves and troops. we can do ourselves because we are the lowest cost in the world because we pay our debt on time. we -- if we decide not to do that, if we fail to do that, becauseestors will say you not paying me or on time, we won't borrowing the future unless it's with a much higher interest rate. if that's the case it will much more costly to do anything and it takes away one of the key economic advantages our country has over every other country on the planet. we just don't want to do that. host: some context of that number. that's the current cost from the center for strategic and international studies. the cnnmoney article also noticing -- noting the cost of wars, project pegging it a $2 trillion.

struck me and stayed with me but one kept running through my head eliza hamilton, the wife of alexander hamilton sang with a chorus of the founding fathers who lives, who dies, who tells your story. this is relevant to my remarks and books because in any war and armed confrontation the first questions are the determinative ones of who lives and who dies. stripped of all other explanations of the purposes and the goal of the war this is the fundamental human question that those that go to war must face. indeed it is the cruel purpose of the war of who lives in who dies. that's why i've had so much trouble in recent years as politicians and pundits have talked about boots on the ground as a metaphor for sending in combat troops. i keep pointing out that we are not talking about shoe leather. we are talking about flesh and blood. we are talking about our young and we are asking of them who lives and who dies. but the burden after all of the shooting stops in any war is the lingering question of who tells your story. who tells your story of the shared narrative of the battles fought, of the dead for

alexander hamilton makes a career defending loyalists against this discrimination and in the property claims and he is adamant that the tolerance must trump what he calls the little vindictive passions of the few and also has an argument that the new nation has the capital that comes with the loyalists so the cross communities in the 13 states, individuals think about the capital and professional skills because the power of the former neighbors and work out the reconciliation. there's one other critical element to why this works out and that is to do with memory or never forgetting. >> the first step happens immediately in this moment that the initial aftermath of the war. the patriots control the stories and they write it out as the founding narrative and the loyalists in turn understand the price so they don't nurture the way that american southerners were after. >> the story is whitewashed right away. there is little interest in talking about the disaster until the period of world war ii is idiocy and 1883 the historians that are referred to as that embarrassing episode we would tr
