to madison consider the?today there's been calls for in article five convention what are your thoughts on that? how might they think about whether now is a good time for that? >> generally trying to channel that is a dangerous thing to do. you have to decide who your channeling? i channeling an updated version? but this one question about convention is the one it's possible to say what madison thought. he was profoundly opposed to any new constitutional convention ever. the minute it was over he thought thank god, we never want to do that again. the reason is that he understood the convention had experienced near unanimity. and then they went to a ratification process where it was split down the middle. the lesson he learned had public sentiment and unrepresented in the convention. they would have failed on day one. fascinating side question why was there huge disparity between the views of the people in independence hall and people in the rest of the country? the short answer is that nobody really knew if it

it shows how relevant it is with madison's final draft. a great question you address in the book, is there a benefit in the present to consider the declaration of independence our bill of rights? >> it talks about equality, in a way the bill of rights does not, the most important provisions of talks about equality and the 14th amendment which at best is very indirectly part, two actions of the federal government through the fifth amendment. and the bill of rights back then was twofold with all the grand language, that was one thought. and abolitionists, people trying to fight the civil rights had to use it and the only thing they could point files to the talked about the quality. they wanted to elevate status by talking about it as a bill of rights. is there value in concluding it? yes in the sense that first of all we don't know it is very important but why shouldn't it be included? that is one way to put it. and others it does work in reference to equality into the bill of rights in a way you always see that side of our founding ideals c

so wilson and madison had a big debate. wilson became a very distinguished u.s. supreme court justice and he died, alas, in debt, it was a sad ending to a heroic career. but right now we're about to see the very first draft of the u.s. constitution written by james wilson. so now we are going to see the rarest draft of the u.s. constitution in american history. the very first draft. many of us know the copy of the constitution in the national archives, but that was the final copy. every important document has a first draft and this is it. it was drafted on july 24, 1787. remember the constitutional convention begins on may 25. i remember that because the address of the national constitution center is 525 arch street in philadelphia. 525 is may 25 and two months later was the first time that the committee created this draft of the constitution. so how did it end up here? well, it belongs to the historical society of pennsylvania and james wilson died in 1789, the year the bill of rights was proposed. he gave this document, along with a bunch of others of his paper

it says wilson and madison were the two leaders. wilson is in favor of popular sovereignty by we the people. madison believes that the people can degenerate into demagogues and mobs. wilson and madison had a big debate. wilson became a very distinguished u.s. supreme court justice and died alas in debt. we are about to see the very first draft of the u.s. constitution written by james wilson. >> now, we are going to see the rarest draft of the u.s. constitution in american history. the very first draft. every important document has a first draft. this is it. it was drafted on june 24th, 1784. >> it begins on may 25th. may 25th, two months later, was the first time that the committee created this draft of the constitution. how did it end up here? it belongs to the historical society of pennsylvania. james wilson died in 1789, the year the bill of rights was proposed. he gave this document, along with a bunch of others of his papers to his son, bird wilson. he dies in 1859 and gives it to his relative, emily hollingsworth and she give

so wilson and madison had a big debate. wilson became a distinguished u.s. supreme court justice and he died alas in debt which was very sad to see and we are about to see the very last draft of the constitution written by madison. we are about to see the rarest draft of the u.s. constitution, the very first draft. many of us know the copy of the constitution, and this is it. it was it will drafted on july 24th 1787. remember the constitutional convention begins on may 25th. i remember the address is 525 arch street in philadelphia, 525 is may 25th and two months later was the first time that the committee created this draft or the constitution. so how did it end up here? it belongs to the historical society of pennsylvania, and james wilson died in 1789 on the year the bill of rights was proposed and he gave this document along with a bunch of others to his son bird wilson. bird wilson dies in 1859 and gives it to his relative emily hollingsworth and she gives it to the historical society of pennsylvania and they've had it for a long time and their visionar

madison lost that battle. that amendment did not pass, along with several others, there are 19 on this list. and it took the civil war, the bloodiest in american history, to pass the 14th amendment to the constitution, which has been construed today as applying the bill of rights against the states so that today states as well as the federal government are forbidden from abridging basic rights, including those in these lists. this list of 19 is fascinating for all sorts of reasons. it was created in the order in which the provisions were supposed to be inserted in the contusion. so the very first proposed amendment says, first, let there be prefix to the constitution a declaration that all power is originally vested in and consequently derived from the people. it goes on to say, the government is instituted and ought to be exercised for the benefit of the people, which consists in the enjoyment of life and liberty with the right of acquiring and using property and generally of pursuing and obtaining happiness

finally there is madison's successor. next to the renaissance genius of his charlottesville neighbor, thomas jefferson, james monroe may appear a presidential caretaker, with which to be modest about. appearances can be deceiving. like ronald reagan in the next century, monroe's popular appeal mystified the political elite. he's been called the first ordinary man to reach the presidency. as such, his success is much to val validate the principles of popular government as any burst of jeffersonial eloquentfor america's fifth prad patterned himself after the first. like washington monroe was considered more steady than brilliant. both admired for character and pat tronized for verbal shortcomings. of the friend and political dissible, he's a man who's soul might be turned wrong side outwards without discovering a blemish. also like washington, monroe regarded himself as being above party politics. this was made easier by the fact that he presided over a century of one party nation. adding to the parallel, monroe em lated wa

the most famous was that of dolly madison. dolly madison was one of the first ladies to ascend -- to attend st. john's. 1836her husband died in she decided to move back to washington. she moved back to a house that is on one corner of lafayette square. she lived there until her death in 1849. she was baptized in st. john's and confirmed by the mission -- by the bishop of maryland. the entire cabinet, the president of the united states, all city fathers. pallbearers was a man whose name has been lost to history. he was an original member of st. john's church. he was a clerk in the state department in 1814. when the fires of washington had yet to take place, james monroe, who was his loss, secretary of state, was out to scouting to see the disposition of military forces. was a strongthere probability washington would be attacked and possibly burned. he sent a writer back to the state department who contacted the man, and he said you should secure all of the important documents of the united states. he had backs made at of course

this measure did not exist in madison's time until the post war period. we have not only the checks and balances in the storks the elections and we have this large establishment to check donald trump. now, those who claim that donald trump is going to run roughshod over the constitution take the view that the constitution engraves their policy preferences. and since donald trump speaker takens different preferences this is terrible. the constitution is going to die. the constitution does not engrave anyone's policy preferences. its enshrines a process and a series of rightses, but none of the policy preferences any of the groups hold today, so, i suggest in this essay that all this is badly overblown. the constitution is going to survive donald trump without any difficulty. i do avert at the end to one of james madison's fears, which i that the american republic is fur greater threat not from a populist, because it was designed to check a populist, but from disintegration. in his -- some of his last hers and speech hes and interviews, james madison was co

madison was confident that the freedoms guaranteed by the first amendment were the source for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression. even so is, there were frequent backslidings in american political life starting with the alien and sedition acts in 1798 which attempted to criminalize seditious libels utteredded about president john adams, and that was followed by mob assaults on political speakers in the streets of new york and baltimore in 1804, in 1810, in 1811 and 1815. in 1835 alone there were 147 political riots in the united states leading to the deaths of 63 people. a riot, in fact, inialton, illinois, in 1 is 837 -- 1837 ended in the death of the abolitionist editor elijah lovejoy and prompted the first great political speech of the up and coming illinois lawyer, abraham lincoln. .. not the action of a mob or the sanction of a magistrate. and yet nearly 250 years after james madison hailed the first amendment as the triumph of reason and humanity we once more find argument after argument being deployed and especially in unive

let me tell you what james madison said about the preamble. this is a quote from james madison. "the general terms or phrases used in the introductory compositions are now a source of so much constructive ingenuity, were never meant to be inserted in their loose form in the text of the constitution. -- it was understood by all that they were to be reduced by proper limitations and specifications into the form in which they were to be final." this is a preliminary phrase. an introduction. nothing more. it just tells you that they were going to have a constitution. -- the preamble, even though every required to recite it, it means nothing. it is a beautiful set of words, but that is it. it sets up the constitution and that is all it is therefore. i think that shocks people. it goes a lot deeper than that. thing that i think individuals find shocking is the executive branch. we are coming up on a presidential election season. we all have our favorite candidate. you support the opponents of the president. we are focused on the executive branch. most americans don't realize that the

her own son, james madison, was born at the white house. so i would say it's -- the hostessing duties of a first lady and more the love of a daughter who wanted the please her father. thank you. yes, hello. >> hello, catherine. how are you? >> well, thank you. >> wonderful presentation. i really appreciate it. i don't have so much a question as i do a comment. you mentioned tess taylor finish. >> yes. >> the woman who was with tess taylor. i'm the woman who was with tess taylor, and i work at monticello now. i wasn't so much longing to get into that grave site as i was longing to find my family's history. >> right. >> and i'd like to say on behalf of myself and on behalf of monticello that we are fully committed to telling the complete story of all the people who lived there. not just martha's children -- who was my ancestors as well, four times great grandmother, not just of thomas jefferson is, but of the 607 people, men, women and children, that thomas jefferson -- [inaudible] we would love to find harriet. [laughter] >> wouldn't we all.

supreme court finally and unambiguously declare the triumph of madison dr. and saying an abrams versus united states that the best test of truth is the power of the thought did get accepted in the competition of the market and not the action of a mob or the sanction of the magistrate. and get nearly 250 years after james madison hailed the first amendment as the triumph of reason and humanity we once more find arguments after argument being deployed and especially to overthrow that triumph and silence free speech. this overthrow comes not in the old guys of brute tyrannical force put in the new cultural sensitivity. it involves an argument against free speech which arrives in two stages. first of all culture is distinct from the political and therefore does not enjoy the protections of free speech and that all speech is really cultural and knows speech deserves protection. let me give you some examples. in her constitution day lecture at princeton university on september 20, the chair of princeton's anthropology department dismissed any idea of an absolute l

madison in 1803 or mcculloch v. maryland, that set the stage for every supreme court decision that we've had from there on out. and he was being very disingenuous, but i think for marshall himself, he was playing politics more than anything else, and he really didn't like the jeffersonians, and he worked against them in any way he could. other questions? don't be shy. come on down to the microphone so we can get you on tv. >> [inaudible] mr. mcclanahan: i have not, primarily because in a survey course, you know, you focus on the general things and move from there. but, yeah, i just, i haven't. and we're -- we have a textbook, and that's about it, you know? we try to stay in that, in that very general terms in a survey course. other questions? >> [inaudible mr. mcclanahan: three. one hasn't been published. it will come out in may, but three. >> [inaudible] mr. mcclanahan: thanks. [inaudible] mr. mcclanahan: well, i mean, the mechanism was there to change it. i think, you know, the founding generation, of course, they

clinton had always said she didn't do much work for madison guaranty.records showed she did almost 60 hours of work. >> that's a lot of time on the castle grande case. but she said, "oh, no. i had nothing to do with it." >> it was very important that the grand jury hear her explanation. >> people were really out to get the clintons, and getting hillary clinton in front of a grand jury sent an important political message. >> as a result, on january 26, 1996, hillary clinton became the first first lady in american history to be called in front of a grand jury. >> the first lady herself made the decision that, "we'll go into the grand jury in a very public way." >> i, like everyone else, would like to know the answer about how those documents showed up after all these years. it would have been certainly to my advantage in trying to bring this matter to a conclusion if they had been found several years ago. >> as mrs. clinton testified about the discovery of her old records, she had no idea that another story had been quietly unfolding within the white hous

that is the answer of james madison. of the first amendment. and the only worthwhile answer of the free spirit. thank you. [ applause ] >>> thank you, professor. we will now have questions and answers. questions? >> hi. i would like to know your take on the kneeling during the national anthem. i remember a rusher. not on a sports team. a rusher who carried as american flag, the regimental flag of the 50 ' 54th massachusetts volunteers. it is an attack on the confederate for the known as battery wagner outside of charlston, south carolina, in july of 1863. 54th massachusetts was an all black rej mint. one of the first to be recruited after the emancipation proclamation. the attack was almost a suicide mission. the regiment swept up to the walls of the fort. penetrated briefly, only to be driven out with heavy losses. the rusher i am thinking of was the color sergeant of the regiment. his name was william h. carnie. he had been born a slave. he was now a free man and a soldier. he brought the stars and stripes off the ram parts of fort wagner.par

to get madison bumgarner to sit down and talk to you one-on-one.time star, joe fonzi who drew the short straw was able to get down there early in spring training before the game, has a full report on today's activities down in the giants camp today and madison was the focus. >> one of the great things about spring training is it's a psychological fresh start no matter what happens, the previous season. the giants felt pretty good about things when they broke camp last spring. they thought they had a solid line-up and pitching staff headed by one of the game's elite starters, madison bumgarner. then the injuries started. in bumgarner's case it was a dirt bike accident on and off day in colorado causing him to miss three months. the team lost 98 games. the worst season in bumgarner's nine-year career has provided motivation for year 10. >> we were not that bad. we had a terrible year. but we were not that bad of a team. i think if you can take that adversity and use it, we'll all be better for it it. i don't think anybody wants to go through it again

story might well have ended there had it not been for her younger brother madison who told the family story to an ohio newspaper in 1873, so just over 50 years after harriet left monticello. somewhere along that road north to washington harriet discovered her enslaved identity for that of a freeborn white woman. she was and you can sort of do the rough math. i am an historian and i don't get that as she was the eighth wife. it was a declaration of independence of such breathtaking scope as to rival that of her father's and hers to was successful. this was her likely arrival point. jesse brown's famous hotel on pennsylvania avenue. it boasted the largest assembly room in the city of fine restaurants and it was the tusseling depot stop. madison reported that harriet quote married a white man in good standing in washington city and raised a family of children. she likely lived until at least 1863 for in 1873 when madison was telling the family story he said he had not heard him her in about 10 years that during all of those years he said he was not aware that her identity as harriet hemi

she was born three miles east of here in the town of madison and she spent time in this area as well as in bucktown a few miles west of here. it was in this area of dorchester county she learned the skills that were vital to make her a successful conductor of the underground railroad such as reading the landscape, reading the stars, foraging for food, walking outdoors and being comfortable by herself. this building is lined in cedar which is a reference to her time in the timber fields with her father. the last three buildings are lined in zinc and the idea is that over time it will patina and weather like copper and it will begin to fade and the idea is that after you visit our -- come through our visitor center your ignorance about harriet tubman's life and the underground railroad will fade as well. we have a number of green features, we have a vegetative roof on the flat surfaces, you can see one on the far south there, that helps us keep the visitors center warm in the winter and cool in the summer. we also have rain barrels to collect the excess water and then we use that to wa

james madison and adam smith. you ever heard of james madison? he's from my district. he went to what school? roughly speaking, princeton seminary. where i went. that's why we're both interesting characters. i'm just trying to appeal to the sense of humor over there. he was college of new jersey, it wasn't really princeton cemetery. "the new york times" will do a fact check, brat lies to young minds. he stuck around and studied what when he was done? hebrew, right? that world view informed the writing of the constitution. the world view behind the constitution and adam smith who was a presbyterian, he differed with his buddy hume, but that's the world view. i'm a conservative because i believe in conservative ideas, the western sinynthesis between the judeo-christian tradition that came up with freedom of conscience and freedom period. and moses and madison, et cetera. it's the combination of the judeo-christian tradition along with greek reason. if you know your history of thought, augustan, anybody heard of him yet? no, they teach you that here at american? they bett

that role fell to james madison and alexander hamilton. they were the two most famous americans in 1787. delegates looked at franklin with respect. there was little doubt that washington would become president of the convention. if there was any competitor for chair, it was franklin. the very heavens obey him, one georgia delegate noted. franklin had planned to nominate washington as chair himself. the son of boston puritans had come a long way. in late spring of 1787, he exchanged letters with his sister jane, who was an evangelical christian and the sibling who maintained the longest correspondence with and the deepest influence on franklin. they reminisced about their humble beginnings as the children of a candle maker. she had remained a person of humble means and relative anonymity while her brothers fame skyrocketed. ben told her that the course of his life filled him with wonder and fills me with humble thankfulness to that divine being who has graciously conducted my steps and prospered me in this strange land to a degree i could n

madison seems to be the one leading founder who was the most dubious or hostile to any form of government support of religion. and he doesn't say a whole lot about that in his public writings or even in his private letters. he is very cautious on the subject of religion. but he does seem to have held that view in some of his private notes left behind when he died indicate that. jefferson on the other hand was simply inconsistent on the subject. jefferson would say things like, it's immoral for government to demand funding to promote a view that a taxpayer doesn't agree with. a position jefferson himself didn't believe for one minute when it came to funding the university of virginia or providing a certain view of government at u.v.a. as the basic doctrine. he even called it orthodox. let's get orthodox professors, using religious language to indicate government funding of education is going to go only in one direction. that is pro republican government. when it came to religion he then said, oh, no that is terrible. but then the same jefferson, actually in the same book notes on virginia

men were not angels, as madison had written in federalist 51. they could not be trusted with unchecked power. franklin joined a more controversial debate at the convention with his proposal for prayer on june 28th, 1787. he had lived a long time, he reminded delegates, and he had become ever more certain that god oversaw human affairs. franklin was convinced that providence has shepparded americans through crisis. it was foolishness not to call on god again. he reminded them of the early days of the war when the patriots prayed, off in that same room, for god's help. at its best, faith inculcated public spiritedness and it suffocated selfishness. good had led them to the point where they could now frame the best possible government. and have we now forgotten that powerful friend, he asked. citing psalm 127, they labor in vain that build it. furthermore, he declared, i firmly believe this. i believe without he his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of babble. prideful strife would confound their
