philadelphia developed technologies to pump water from the river into the city. these technologies established engineering concepts that are still the basis for our water systems today. europeans flocked here. it was a destination point to see the new world technology. when charles dickens visited us in 1840, he was truly blown away by high water pressure on the fourth floor of the hotel he was staying in. nowhere in europe had he experienced that. this technology was doing something to support the life and the growth of the city. philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new y

there's a garvey chapter in philadelphia. i organized the conference about three years ago on the unia scholarly conference of small number of scholars who were going to present their work but at the last minute i advertised in a local newspaper and 150 garveyites showed up. we were all astonished by this but it gives you a sense there's a lot out there that we need to know more about. >> host: professor hahn, you mention garveyites. whose they're political focus today? >> guest: well, the unia, the universal negro improvement association, there are chapters, a chapter in philadelphia, there are some chapters in the united states. there are chapters elsewhere in the world. i think it's also people who are kind of nationalist in their political views. they might embrace ideas about separatism. and so garvey's ideas or their understand examination sense of connection with africa is very, very powerful, and i think it tends to be especially powerful among sections of african-americans who are working class, poor, whereas the civ

opening words of the constitution, written in philadelphia, hence philadelphia sovereignty. but what is philadelphia sovereignty, the people are sovereign, the three constitution and the core of the twin pillars of our liberty and consent. so we do have majority rule, but majority rule is limited reconstitution and the whole system of separation of powers, federalism and limited government. a lot of times people get hung up in the republic or democracy. wary compound machine, a regime that is both liberal and democratic or constitutional republic and. you can use any of these terms. alexander hamilton used the term representative democracy. zÜrich government based on majority rule and consent, but that is limited by a constitution, hence the compound machine. one of the major charges raised against king george the third in the declaration of independence was about sovereignty. i've read that church. he, george the third has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws to their acts of pretended legislation. o

pennsylvania and philadelphia worlds apart. >> philadelphia, unfortunately, has not had the same supporture in harrisburg, they have not been willing to pass strong gun control laws, and we see the impact in philadelphia. >> reporter: in 2011, philadelphia saw 17 gun-related murders for 100,000 people. new york city, 4 per 100,000. mayor michael nutter said he will propose stricter gun control measures again. those opposed to it, new york's mayor would say this -- >> it would be interesting to see if they have the courage to come with me and explain to the police officer who got killed, to their spouse or their child or their parent that it was a murder we could have stopped and we didn't have the courage to do. >> my son could still be here had it not been for someone with a gun. my cousin would still be here had it not been for someone with a gun. >> so, the question, carol, for people like mayor nutter and other mayors across the country who are trying to do the same thing, in mayor nutter's situation will he be successful this particular time in trying to get new gun legislation pass

philadelphia story is not unique. mayors everywhere struggle with gun violence, using scarce city resources to fight it. resources which we should be using to educate our children, create jobs for our residents and revitalize our cities. in an open letter to the president and the congress, sent just three days after the newtown massacre, we urged immediate action and over 200 mayors signed on a to -- on to that letter. we called on the president to exercise his power through executive order and the congress to introduce and pass legislation to make reasonable changes in our gun laws and regulations. specifically we called on congress to, one, enact legislation to ban assault weapons and other high-capacity magazines, that is now being prepared by senator feinstein and many others. two, strengthen the national background check system and eliminate loopholes in that system. and, three, strengthen the penalties for straw purchases of guns. today, of course, president barack obama and vice president biden released the adm
