the national constitution center is doing amazing work. i think what has been identified so far would be dimension along which originalist give -- what the object of it is. are you looking for the original intent of the framers and their goal or are you looking to the meaning to the members of the public at the time of the text that they adopted? i agree with the other speaker that the emphasis is on the latter. and not just me in particular, but i think it will be reflected in court practice, there is a question about non-textual factors and what role they have. everyone agrees -- who is originalist agrees that there is a reporting to the founding era that era in which it was ratified. and that kind of authority wanted those at the time to trump other factors. and even with the russians about whether you can consider the original meaning of the text and the original tools of interpretation that prevailed when the text was adopted. for example, a few look to background principles of the common law. do you assume that the criminal statute wi

called amend, which has cataloged every one of the thousands of proposals to amend the united states constitution in the nation's history. the founders intended the constitution to be difficult to amend, but maybe not this difficult. there are those who could make a strong argument that the constitution has become unamendable. what say you? - i do think the constitution effectively unamendable, and politicians and activists and ordinary citizens act as if it is unamendable, and in a way that makes it unamendable. it's one of those things we kind of believe it into being. it hasn't been meaningfully amended since 1971. and what really, in a sense, broke article 5, which is the provision of the constitution by which the constitution is amended, was the equal rights amendment. it passed congress in 1972, went to the states, and was ultimately derailed. state constitutions are amended all the time, but compared to other national constitutions, the united states constitution, it is the least amended constitution and the most difficult to amend. and it's a problem for american political life and public life because co

a revolution of dignity, what role does the political nation play here, or does it play any role at all , directly because the political nation the constitution is an inseparable thing, a one-year-old nation is formed in the era of modernity, the era of modernity. modern, that is, modernity came to our territory very late . well, it formally began even when nustraialization was all that, but it was a one-sided modernization for which the ukrainian people paid a terrible price , the famine, modernization, spiritual, mental modernization uh, constitutional, cultural, it actually started as soon as we got independence. it was basically our chance. because the empire never lets anyone in voluntarily, they always ask their terrible price, because every country that became independent eventually went through a war of independence, starting with the first such revolution and then the american war of independence and every time in history even then when the empire let someone go voluntarily for nothing, for example, india, for example , israel, but still the war for independence began because the neighbors did not let a and e , in fact, this price ca

in fact, this mission ruling may be due to the talent of the nation's rights in the third chapter of the constitution, and it is supposed that despite the existence of legal positions that exist for the implementation of our constitution is supposed to be structurally, and this position is actually the pursuit of the rights of the iranian nation in domestic and international forums, which may be different from some specialized positions, for example, in relation to a position in the previous governments as a position there was an assistant for civil rights and he was only in charge of internal rights. this difference was created due to the transformational view of the head of the 13th government and the missions that were stated in the decree, which is actually the most unprecedented hacking during the islamic republic because the missions in it has been approved and the description of duties in the decree, in fact , these missions are all the armed rights of the nation in the constitution. what is the core of its relationship with the presidential legal vice president? the position of assistant to t

to write a draft of the constitution, and after the victory of the revolution , they participated in the assembly of constitutional experts of the elected representatives of the nationreview the principles of that draft and check compliance the constitution of the islamic republic of iran was held in the white house before the meeting with the recitation of some verses from the words of god almighty and the message of the leader of the islamic revolution of iran. the draft constitution in the draft council the drafts of the revolution have been approved by the council of ministers and revised and approved by the revolutionary council, and it includes 12 chapters and 151 principles . if other groups have a new text , any text should be placed according to the order of the groups. now that all the laws of the country are in line with religion and divine commandments, there was another solution. the new task for the game was to form a new institution in iran's legal system, the guardian council , where laws should be given . 57. the national assembly does not can enact laws that conflict with the principles and rulings of the country's official religion and the constit

the examples of legitimate freedoms according to the constitution. from the third chapter of the constitution, which is the rights of the nation, from the 19th article of the constitution onwards, we as a judicial system have been considered to be significant in providing for hossein's weakness, the number of cases that should be paid more attention to providing for the psychological security of the people, among other issues, the attorney general of the country sat down. from the latest follow-ups in this regard, he said, "we are with the bailiffs." special and we announced that a letter and a circular that all the cases that from the point of view of the security and intelligence agencies, as a last resort, bring to the psychological security of the society , i announce to our stories the indictment of the defendants of a money laundering case, so that the brother along with other fake money guarantees they colluded with the head of the bank branch and presented it to the court on the charge of gross disruption in the country's economic system, to the prison system , to condemn the insult to the quran in sweden, to prosecute and punish the perpetra

the third principle of the constitution, there is a stipulation in this regard, he said that in the third chapter of the constitution, from the third chapter of the constitution, which is the rights of the nation, from the 19th article of the constitution, we are considered significant. as a judicial system, we are obliged to provide this the number of cases where more attention should be paid to the mental security of the people was among other issues that the attorney general of the country said about the latest follow- ups in this regard. in the next episode, the prosecutor of tehran announced the indictment of the accused in a money laundering case, that baradar had colluded with the head of the bank branch along with other items of guaranteed fake money. they were sent to the court on the charge of major disruption in the system the country's economy is emphasized by the country's officials and accountability to the muslims. maleeha pejman of the radio and television news agency uses the capacity of the elites in the executive bodies, one step closer to the action. the elites in the executive bodies were promised the issue of 5,000 recruitments to be employed in the government bodies and

the nation. the constitution in niger is suspended and former institutions are dissolved.resident who was elected just two years ago in niger's first peaceful transfer of power remains in the presidential palace. >> he has declared himself the new leader of niger after a military takeover on wednesday. on state television, the head of niger's presidential guard explained the reasons for the coup, which saw the country's president seized by members of his own guard. quick snow, the current approach to security has not allowed us to make the country secure, despite the heavy sacrifice made by nigerians and the considerable and valued support of our external partners. no, the results are not meeting nigerians' expectations. no, we can no longer continue with the same approaches that have been proposed until now due to the risk of seeing our country gradually and inevitably disappear. that's why we have decided to intervene and take responsibility. >> the president, who has been detained in the presidential palace since wednesday, has not formally surrendered power. on thursda

called "omg wtf does the constitution actually say," and there's also a kid's version titled simply "what does the constitution say?" not only is our constitution the oldest national of any country, but we have the ability to change it. and we've done that 27 times. we have the right to free speech because of the constitution. we no longer have slavery because of the constitution. we no longer have to pay a tax in order to vote because of the constitution. and women and people over 18 have voting rights because of the constitution. the better a society is educated in civics, the better they can dictate a government that is supposed to, by design, represent their interests. i think one of the biggest threats to our democracy is ignorance. not just not voting, but not understanding why we should even vote in the first place. my hope for civics education in the future is that every state requires at least three years of it. you have to take some sort of exam to show proficiency in order to graduate, and that we make civics a part of our everyday lives from a cultural sense. what gives me hope is seeing younger generations step up and participate in a way that i don't

the basic washingtonian grand strategy. it has stood test of time. a strategy derived from our constitutional principles and reflecting the montesquieu philosophy of moderation and a right of nations. but now the remaining time to turn more particularly to modesty. i suggest that you should want evidence from me. where is this? in the constitution of founding. now, shouldn't you want some evidence for me about montesquieu as the source of these american views. some evidence for. my claim that the constitution's framers and and washington as the strategist statesmen who developed the basic template of american grand strategy in these foundations that they were not making it up. evidence that they were following the basic philosophy, the basic teachings about war and peace advocated by the french enlightenment philosopher, montesquieu montesquieu was the central figure of what scholars now call the moderate enlightenment. and as dr. morrison, he was the single most important for the framing of and ratification debates about the 1787 constitution because of the influence his great 1780 1748 work the spirit of laws. but as noted, we mostly have forgotten that montesquieu also was thro

and i wanted to bring in now thomas's attorney john pierce, the founder and chairman of the national constitutional law union. he is represented actually 35 january 6 defendants in addition to kenneth thomas. so, john, thanks for being here. i want to start with this. he is awaiting sentencing, your client here. why would a judge give him permission to attend a festival that is essentially celebrating the thing he was convicted for? >> i would take issue with the idea that this is a celebrating things he was convicted for. i would take some issue with the language in some of your lead up about folks storming the capitol. january 6th was a very complex event with a lot of people who engaged in various kinds of conduct. mr. joseph thomas was found not guilty of engaging in violence on capitol grounds. >> well he was found guilty of assaulting a police officer. >> so the statute that you are referring to actually contains multiple kinds of conduct that can be the basis for liability it under so you could have the typical kind of assault you're speaking of or impeding or obstructing a police officer in

declaration of independence and the republic described in the constitution of the united states come calvin coolidge said the constitution is the sole source and guarantee of national freedom, and so it is you know, every office holder in this, members of our military in public safety all take the same oath to support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to bear true faith and allegiance to the same. they take the obligation freely without. any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. and they pledge well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office they're about to enter. and it ends custom and tradition with a prayer. so help me god. i took that oath many times, serving along side congressmen cox as member of congress. i took it as a governor in indiana and i took it as your vice. and i in each moment, it was not just a promise that i was making to the american people. for me in my house. it was a promise we were making to almighty god. and i'm going to challenge each and every one of you here today to approach promise as american citizens in the same spirit. because the truth is, we lose faith in the f

crimea as the homeland of ukrainian deputies, as it should be formalized there in the form of national autonomy. the constitutiontonomy, but it is national, or in some other way, or at all, do not define it, conditionally speaking, do not call it an autonomous republic, because it causes some controversy there, but it must be recognized that this is the homeland of the crimean tatars, and they have there is an opportunity, they should be able to develop their own identity , culture, language and have all political rights, and again the right to self-government is correct in the very definition, but definitely it should be ukrainian territory recognized as ukrainian territory by the whole world, except for some of those countries whose borders exist, which have now generally found something on the street more with ukrainian ukrainian airfields and a powerful ukrainian black sea fleet with bases in vsevalsky and signs that it is desirable to return again, we did mention the crimean war, but one of conditions after the crimean war that russia does not have the right to a black heavy fleet in the territory of the bl
