revere holding magna carta. another example is john dickinson's "the patriotic american farmer" and his elbow rests on magna carta. but it also continues later in our history. what you're looking at is franklin roosevelt's third inaugural address, and the detail here says the democratic aspiration is no mere recent phase in human history. it blazed anew in the middle ages. it was written in magna carta. so, as late as the onset of world war ii fdr is still referring back to the legacy of magna carta. so, we think that this new interactive device is going to give a lot more strength to the display of magna carta, allow our visitors to have a deeper understanding not of just why the document is important, but how it connects to our charters of freedom. >> you can watch american artifacts and other "american history tv" programs any time by visiting our website, cspan.o cspan.org/history. >> i've mark barkus, i'm head of the lcv project, lcv stands for local content vehicle. we've got three of them. the purpose of the vehicles is to collect programming outside of washington, d.c. how do we do it? we staff each one with one person and a laptop editor so they are able to roll, produce, and edit things on the

revere the supreme court. they don't -- they don't agree with all the decisions, but they, they respect the institution. as it is. >> what was the age difference between the two? >> roosevelt and hughes? quite a lot. they were -- hughes was born in 1862, and roosevelt was born in 880, so it was almost an 8 18-year difference. hughes, by the way, was a progressive republican. his father was a great admirer of abraham lincoln, and when lincoln was assassinated, he came home, and hughes remembered this. and he remembered that his father said to his mother, he said if you had been killed, i wouldn't have felt any worse worse than i do today. i mean, nothing -- no reflection -- >> their marriage. >> didn't hurt their marriage. they were a very happily married couple. >> hi. >> yes. >> a little broader, and it's kind of a follow up, but it's about the supreme court in general. i mean, on one side they seem like a stepchild, and different presidents want to get rid of them like jefferson. of on the other side, they seem to be all-powerful, almost like a monarchy. where do you take this from? i mean, do you think they should be elected? do you think they should have term limits? >
