massachusetts retained a state church. they offered religious tolerance, and the ability to practice religion, but gave the state to compel people to attend particular kinds of public warship. or certainly through local tax money, to support a local church, the puritan church, the congregational church. this remained true in massachusetts until the 1820s. the u.s. constitution says, the u.s. will not establish a religion, the federal government won't, but it did not stop the states from doing it. thesein fact, there are bills t now in some states to reestablish churches -- religion within states rather, this idea has been floated around, to return to an established religion. >> here, adams actually was open to staying christian. you had to be christian to be an officeholder. and the people in massachusetts wanted protestant, protestant, protestant. so the catholics under this constitution was a little vague. there's some language that excluded catholics, certainly excluded jews, technically it even excluded folks who were

in particular massachusetts and virginia. so marshall is virginia story is massachusetts. all the other, virginia, massachusetts teams rhetorically james otis from massachusetts and patrick henry from virginia, your first president and vice president going to be george washington and jon adams and they work together in 1776 buried by the wayon so did jefferson and adams again virginian and massachusetts person. adams is vice president is a virginian. thomas jefferson. one of jefferson's vice president is a massachusetts guy and he is also going to be one of madison's vice presidents. the north-south team of a massachusetts and virginia is important.ou the answer to your question about john marshall he is the last founder. he strengthens the judiciary. he is out washington man, a hamilton man, a continental us he and story together make a really impressive team just as washington and hamilton do and just as a madison and jefferson do. >> i think it's fair to say both of us and we are not exactly members of the federalist party were very sympathetic to it. this is an animati

in particular, massachusetts and gina. marshall is virginia, story is massachusetts. think about the other virginia massachusetts teams. rhetorically, james otis for massachusetts and patrick kennedy from virginia. the president and vice president will be george washington and john adams and to work together 1776 so jefferson and adams avenue and massachusetts person. adams is vice president, originated to thomas jefferson. one of jefferson's vice president is a massachusetts guide and also one of madison's so the north and south think of massachusetts and virginia is important so the answer to your question, he's the last founder, he strengthened the judiciary, he's a washington man, a hamilton man, continental list and find a partner from another region. they story together and makee an impressive team. just as washington hamilton do just as madison and jefferson do not think it is fair to say both of us, if we are not exactly of the federalist party were very sympathetic to us. this is animating our talk the last few minutes but take good for thomas jefferson i agr

is going to become the royal governor of massachusetts. he's lieutenant governor, american-born. and if you would ask someone as late as 1770 or so, definitely 1765, which of these two famous boston born smart people is going to end up supporting american independence and who ig going to end up siding with the king, benjamin franklin or thomas hutchinson, both boston born, both really smart, people might've said franklin will end up supporting the king, his illegitimate son is a royal governor of new jersey and hutchinson will fly with his fellow new englanders. lots of people that are more obscure than thomas hutchinson at i pick hutchinson in particular because i want my audience to see the was another side, even to the american revolution. if thomas hutchinson were alivee today, my analogy would be he is mitt romney. he's harvard educated. he's sober. he's a traditionalist. he in hierarchy. he loved his country but his country is bitten and is home town as boston if you been lucky enough to be born 20 years earlier he wouldn't have had to pick between them but he does. he ends

the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, i feel like i just walked into the annual airing of grievances. there is so much that needs to be responded to. let me just say two things. on inflation, last week five former treasury secretaries issued a statement. five former treasury secretaries urging us to pass this critical legislation to, quote, help increase american competitiveness, address our climate crycy, lower costs for families, and fight inflation. larry summers was among those former treasury secretaries who said that this bill helps fight inflation. my republican colleagues love to cite mr. summers, but it seems they only like acknowledging his analysis when he agrees with the point they are trying to make. just on process, i have to say this. perhaps my friends are forgetting the extensive hearings and markups that we held during consideration of build back better. the energy and commerce markup alone took three days. almost every piece of the inflation reduction act was included in some form

they begin to realize whether they are in massachusetts are down in virginia or in other colonies and my story begins with 1760. they begin to understand what they have in common with each other. they are talking to britain initially and they see themselves beginning in my story as british subjects in the new world. .. people on the middle were looking at both sides, and newspaper of journalists, they are indispensable to this project. they are talking initially on what will become the declaration of independence, and then eventually they have talked themselves into becoming visibly americans. one nation, indivisible, not the constitution. and they do it ethically through political cartoons, words and pictures, some very highest polluting stuff. and that includes an inclusive and robust and uninhibited wide-open distinctly american experience. cemented free-for-all. we are so we are talking about more than just a big name. and you do cover them. you cover the people on the presidential placemat and that is the cast of characters that is much bigger than that. >> yes, it is, for exampl

>> it's called mclean hospital, in belmont, massachusetts.we would get through our issues together. >> michelle carter was trying to talk him out of it. go to maclean hospital. they will help you. she had nothing but resistance from conrad roy. >> one of the main points of your argument was that conrad roy had tried it before. he hide researched various ways to take his own life. that this was not something that was just created by michelle carter. >> right. michelle for a year and a half always tried to persuade him not to commit suicide. he always rejected her thoughts of staying alive. and it was not until literally the last two weeks of his life where michelle finally endorsed his plan. >> i think that's where people have the biggest problem with this case. it's, why? why would she encourage? him and she is supposed to be his friend. >> well, she came to the realizization that he did not want to live anymore. and his words were, i will only hate you if you tell somebody about my plan. while the prosecution michelle carter as an attention

and in massachusetts, hutchinson, massachusetts was named our, or massachusetts after a british parliamentarian who is perceived as a better friend of the colonies than hutchinson. so, is this setting an american president? actually connect these actions to the rule of statues today? the removal of statues of monuments in the community that do not feel they represent the heroes of stories we wish to celebrate. >> sure. in the beginning of the war, it wasn't clearly an anti british phenomenon. in the declaration of independence, the case of the soldiers marching down to the equestrian statue of the king a dental new york city, pulling it down. not just pulling it down but they cut off the kings head and then they fired a musket ball into the head. this is a symbolic thought. he was the closest they could get to executing the king and trying to make a break between our british passed and some kind of american past. anytime that a people collectively agree that we need to reinvent ourselves, we need to re-conceive of ourselves as a community, you kind of need those sorts of symbolic acts of iconoc

she heard about the new massachusetts constitution. she was hearing discussions about how the new massachusetts constitution says1 people130 says people were created equal. she said, why am i doing this if the constitution says that and she went and got a lawyer and used that to sue for her freedom. >> it is astounding to see how that works. there are hundreds of stories like that in the book. in which slaves are always looking for ways to diminish the rigors of their bondage and open possibilities of freedom and liberty for themselves. in just that way. they were very clever about it, often. and frequently successful. but not always. >> but not always, right. dependent on of course of the laws they were going up against and in their various regions. >> depending on a lot of things. one thing that made a big difference was a cop very difficult for them to do this in southern colonies where numbers were larger, and european populations were smaller. it felt much more dangerous. they were much more reluctant to grant any openings that wa

hutchinson, massachusetts was renamed bar, massachusetts after a british parliamentarian who was perceived as a better friend of the colony has been hutchinson. so is this wedding an american precedent. how can we relate these actions to the removal of statues today statues and monuments at the community does not feel represents the stories and heroes we wish to celebrate. sure. yeah, it's in the beginning of the war. it wasn't clearly an anti-british phenomenon. and then the cushion and penets you have this this case these soldiers and sailors dashing down to the equestrian statue of the king and in downtown new york city pulling it down and not just putting it down, but they cut off the king's head and then they fire him musketball into the head, right? so this is a symbolic religious side, right? this is the closest they can get to executing king and trying to make a break between our british past and some kind of new american past and every time that a people kind of collectively agrees. we need to reinvent ourselves, right we need to to we we conceive of ourselves as a community you k

massachusetts was a squeaker. they got it through but the other really big state was new york new york is huge as we still know today new york the most important states of all so it was alexander hamilton who wasn't from any state who realized that people better? stop better? stop being provincial and better get it together and understand that we all need each other, but he lived in new york and he very much identified with new york, and he married in new yorker. and he became the principal organizer of this publication called the federalist papers and in the federalist papers what they did is they spelled out all the reasons why new yorkers should vote for this thing and make it true that there would be a the united states not simply a these united states and the word they used i found this very interesting. actually. this is based on my own research, but it's there for anybody to see so, you know, i didn't invent this at all. hamilton says, you know between conflicts we need an umpire john jay who's one of the o

massachusetts in 1824. according to this act, courts can and really should -- annul marriages if one of the parties experience idiocy or insanity at the time of the contract. so, intellectual incapacity invalidated a marriage contract, leading to its annulment. again, massachusetts is not unique here. marriage restrictions based on intellectual incapacity date all the way back to roman law and they were implemented in early modern england, and nearly all american colonies and states. it will also note that there is a long history of marriage restrictions based on physical capacity. capacity for sexual intercourse, for both men and women. these were also enforced in colonial and early national law. again, it's important to think intersectional. so, this law doesn't mention it, but who else was excluded from marriage in the colonies? miners, men and women under the age of consent, also in slaved people were prohibited from marriage. so, we are seeing the way that disability, the category of disability, can in

but outside of massachusetts and a few other places. normally you had to be wealthy to get in education and everything costs quite a bit of money. it wasn't much funding by the state if you want to call it that and that we should think of public education as a consequence in part of the american revolution although a hard bought one. what is jefferson's role in in pushing for education in virginia and generally in and what is his general impact on the american after the revolution? well, there is really no other founder who was so engaged in the idea of creating a university. i see the american revolution really is the origins of that initially was interested in reforming william and mary, but the university was just the apex of this much broader educational vision that i think very remarkable for the time it took the form of bill in 1779 for the general diffusion of knowledge in virginia. and this would have really created the first public school system as you rightly note, massachusetts and connecticut had very high rates of literacy
