my question is, how would madison and monroe and jefferson, adams all look -- they were still alive at the 1809 case -- how would they look at corporations and all the rulings for them? i know washington was gone and franklin was gone, but we still had a lot of founders around. how did they view corporations? >> guest: well, the 1809 case was really understood through the lens of partisanship and battles over the bank of the united states. the 1809 case involved the bank of the united states which was the richest and most powerful and only real national corporation in the founding era. and it was set up by congress but established as a private business corporation that sold to the public. and some of the framers were actually very much in favor of granting the bank of the united states constitutional rights because the bank of the united states was under attack by jeffersonians who, states' rights advocates who thought the bank was a national power that they wanted to bring down, and they wanted -- it invaded states' rights. so even the founding fathers were split on the 1809 case. it

>> you mentioned he met with jefferson and john quincy adams everyone about john adams? alan: he did. he spent several hours with john adams. there is a poignant depiction of at theams's feebleness time. he had to be helped. his mind was still as sharp as ever. he did visit john adams. yes. y did monroe invite him to calm? to come?at -- whose idea was this? alan: i don't know. there are several theories. one was he was completely broke, his estate had been confiscated during the revolution. he did manage to get control of his farm, la grange. he had a lot of debts. thoughtmes munroe congress would give him a national reward. back tod to come america. neverportunity had arisen. bourbons kept restricting the suffrage. he lost the election of 1824 for his seat. that is when the invitation came and he decided to accept it. >> one more question. >> thank you. my understanding is lafayette wanted to come back to the u.s. in the 1790's. his cabineton and had told him not to. i was wondering if that is true? a grain of truth, but it was not at that time. he was in prison, he was

jefferson? all right. adam housley from what is still one state, california. melissa: breaking news, the u.s.ng to proceed with tariffs on tense of billions of dollars in chinese goods as early as friday. this is according to the "wall street journal." fox business' susan li is live in the newsroom with the latest. reporter: remember that threat to levee 25% tariffs on $50 billion worth of chinese goods? according to the "wall street journal," may have hurt stocks. looks like the trump administration may be going ahead with it. the latest from the "wall street journal" is president trump has not given the final approval on levying the tariffs. these were the threats and in light of what happened in north korea and needing china's help and getting north koreao the table and possibly complying promises and the agreements to denuclearize, they need china onside. and he settlement of 1.4 billion, management change as well? the u.s. government's helped to alleviate the pressure to get zte back in business, do they go ahead with the riffs? enter the trade war as they are. and fighting friends with

if a president, president jefferson and president adams said if they could, they would ban the admission of catholics to the united states because they both said that with jesuits comes the lack of freedom. that was pure anti-catholic bigotry. if a president tried to ban all catholics, i suspect the supreme court 9-0 would strike it down. remember, we have a terrible history of banning jews in america from about 1915 up through the end of the holocaust. so there are limits to what the president can do. this, though, doesn't ban all muslims and doesn't ban only muslims, which is why i think it survived the supreme court ruling. >> if you look at sotomayor and ginsburg, the ban was in part because of the president's comments he made initially. they write it leaves undisturbed the policy first openly and unequivocally as a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states because the policy masquerades behind a facade of national security concerns. here they are trying to interpret what the policy really meant. are they kind of overstepping their bounds here, trying to get i

adams had lived there, but it was unfinished. she hung her laundry in the east room. thomas jefferson had made architectural improvements, but he furnished it from belongings from montpelier and he took those. so congress did appropriate $20,000 and madison selected benjamin henry latrobe to supervise the work. this is a time when mostly men choose household furnishings. and james makes this unusual choice by, at that time period, to delegate the project to dolley. she really understood that this is going to be a symbol of the presidency and also of the federal government. and so she decided to choose objects that would be kind of classical republican simplicity but still be able to stand the test against european fashionable elegance and she chose this grecian theme. this neoclassical style is more than just a fashion statement. it is reflecting the values of the republic by honoring those republican ideals by civic virtue. it's saying this young america, we are just sophisticated as old europe and we don't have to put up with the monarchy. dolley used this tone to really also build

adams pretty courtly. they would stand and would you them, they would bow to you and then would you move on. e heard about jefferson and helter-skelter. so she had a very elegant style. she invited everybody. dispensed with many of the former social protocols but she givinody an offense because she treated everyone the same. it was also unusual at that time to sit at the woman the head of the table but this suited the madisons the best, could really pull off any event kind of seamlessly madison could sit in the center of the table and she was direct the conversation around him. point, vice president gary -- el -- tried to sit at table, i'm take care of that for you, dolly and he very firmly put him in his place and afterwards he wrote it would have been impossible for me to have equalled her in this instance. she did everything with such elegant ease but i can imagine that was an awkward moment. also knew what her husband's goals and difficulties then nd she could really hone the conversation about where he wanted to go, and he he could get more the house able at than he did in the offers all day. with the white ho

adams followed. other presidents who didn't have wives like thomas jefferson had surrogates who would come in and serve those roles. it just goes back to the roots of our culture. even kind of me to fathom that, but with women changing roles, who knows? it's possible that the american people would love it. i would think that if you are the spouse of the president, the public thinks you should be doing something, that you would -- you know, the principal no harm. you don't want to generate a lot of criticism. expectation is there and so deeply rooted, that if you are the spouse of the president, male or female, you would want to support that. i could also see a point in time where maybe the first gentleman or the first lady who wants to keep up his or her career -- and in the meantime, there is no constitutional role. she doesn't, or he doesn't, have to do anything, but we have all of this history that would tell us that she or he actually really has to. it is a tough call. i would not be surprised if we saw something like that in the future. that's a great question. thank you all very much.

adams, employed slaves. he and louisa catherine borrowed, paid a slave owner for their slaves to serve as a servant in their house. jefferson,d thomas who freed no slaves except for ren,y hemmings' child because he was in so much debt when he died all of his slaves were sold. george washington gets credit for freeing his slaves, which he did, but it is a more complicated story than that. it is probably the slave hercules. george. slavery was a bad system, a little bit morally, but he thought it was completely uneconomical, because you have these workers who are very good workers in their prime years, but you had to support them in their infancy and childhood, and when they were old. you were supporting a whole bunch of people, only maybe one third of whom were doing the work you needed to have done. he was viewed as a pretty fair master, but if you disobeyed him, he would sell you. not necessarily punish, but sell you away, so that disrupted a family. george was the upwardly mobile, handsome, eligible bachelor, military officer when he marries the wealthy widow martha, and they have two children. they marry and have childre
