it functions basically the same as it has since 1796, the election between thomas jefferson and john adams. many states since then have moved to winner take all. that began in the 1800s because thomas jefferson realized if a couple of states had been winner take all he would have beat atoms in 1796 as he did in 1800. 1796, 1800, 1804, the electoral college may not work the way that some founders at the convention thought that it would and basically did when it elected george washington twice, but since george washington the electoral college has basically worked the same way it does today. host: carolyn? guest: well, so, it is not my view that the electoral college has changed. it was the view of the men who created it. i just want to reiterate that. james madison supported an amendment to change the operation of the electoral college. thomas jefferson, not a participant in the constitutional convention, supported an amendment that he said would effectually put the election in the hands of the people. a change, he said, would help him live in more confidence and die in more hope. he

thomas jefferson and the adamses enslaved in paris lived together. they they were. jefferson and adams were supposed to negotiate treaties of commerce with in it. and john quincy, who was then 14, became he. he said that thomas jefferson became a second father to me, very close, very, very intimate relationship. and but after the split, the washington cabinet and after the emergence of the republican federalist parties and the rivalry between, adams and and jefferson. quincy adams would give him no quarter more him no quarter. so you know, adams to john and and staffs and of course reconciled after both were out of the office and had that favorite famous correspondence. and of course you remember they both died on june 4th 1826. and that was when quincy adams was president. so. sorry. i've come all the way up here. who can never have a wandering like. so my question for you is said that he was definitely enticed, but didn't believe in full emancipation. he didn't believe in uncompensated. so that's what was my question. so he believed then that he believed he believe

johnson, nominated by thomas jefferson to serve the court as a republican bulwark to chief justice marshall. but johnson ended up becoming the voice and vector of federal power against his fellow members of the carolina planter elite. and he also dissented in many cases from marshall as jefferson had hoped, but not exactly in the direction that jefferson hoped he would. and as we'll see in 1823, when sitting a circuit court judge writing circuit of supreme court justices did in those days, johnson issued a decision that was the first time in which a federal judge found that a state law violated the commerce clause of the constitution. the decision spawned a backlash in charleston cries of nullification and nine years before the nullification declaration of 1832. threats against. johnson was deeply of charleston as we'll see. but this is not a typical account of what charleston usually witnessed or stood for in the 1820s and 1830s. our charleston in is mariah henrietta pinckney. born in 1774. died in 1836. no portrait of her survives, but her writings do. this is the cover page of one of her

thomas jefferson endorsed the possibility of nullification or secession before the civil war.es madison disagreed and thought that a single state did not have that power. as i said lincoln and the union victory seems to settle the question in favor of union. all of this is to say that if a single state like california or idaho decided unilaterally to secede, according to the constitutional precedents that would be illegal. it would require federal force. the president would have to send in troops to stop it. and war could be the result. it is a very serious question. on constitution day, let's remind ourselves that lincoln was right, and george washington was right and johns marshall was right and fragrant -- frederick douglass and martin luther king are right. we are one nation and one people. the shining value of union and the necessity of preserving and protecting the union is the single most important lesson of american history so let us not forget it today. host: seems like a good place to end. for most mower -- for much more can go to constitutioncenter dot oregon. that

fowler ran for as a member of thomas jefferson's democrat republican party, while triss wife, elizabeth, was buried at monaco, slo, in an unmarked grave. this divergence of loyalty matched opinions of homosexuality. the opinions of bat and chapman reflected a british approach. one steeped in scandal. the connected a man's personal character to the fate of the empire. in such a worldview a buggery was a cause of disorder and had to be rooted out, lest he pull down the natural order. by contrast, fowler and trist exhibited a more laissez faire attitude. they could ignore men who had sex with men. a buggery was less of a threat to the social order than an exacting captain or a tyrannical king. and i think that this correlation is the true legacy of robert newburgh trials for us today. the men who found themselves at odds with the british army, with its persecution of robert newburgh, helped to found a new nation. for them, buggery was something did not disqualify a man from his position and by extension did not prohibit one from citizenship. historians have argued that because the ideology
