• Chasing the Endless Frontier: Chapter 5

The Constitutional Studies Program will host the inaugural Texas Constitutional Law Assembly, a first-of-its-kind conference for high school students in grades 9-12. This free event will be held at the Law School on April 16, 2022. The purpose of the Assembly is to engage high school students in discussion on democracy, rights, and the rule of law.

We are grateful to our outstanding roster of speakers: Justice Evan Young and Professors Zach Elkins, Mimi Marziani, Liz Sepper, and Steve Vladeck. The tentative program is available here.

Registration is available here for free, though space is limited. Note that any student attending the Assembly must be accompanied by a school representative; no student may register on her/his/their own, nor attend on her/his/their own.

Law and Economics Seminar: Maya Sen // Harvard KSG

There’s a standard story we tell ourselves about America: that our fundamental values as a country were stated in the Declaration of Independence, fought for in the Revolution, and made law in the Constitution. But, with the country increasingly divided, this story isn’t working for us anymore—what’s more, it’s not even true. As Kermit Roosevelt argues in this eye-opening reinterpretation of the American story, our fundamental values, particularly equality, are not part of the vision of the Founders. Instead, they were stated in Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and were the hope of Reconstruction, when it was possible to envision the emergence of the nation committed to liberty and equality.

We face a dilemma these days. We want to be honest about our history and the racism and oppression that Americans have both inflicted and endured. But we want to be proud of our country, too. In The Nation That Never Was, Roosevelt shows how we can do both those things by realizing we’re not the country we thought we were. Reconstruction, Roosevelt argues, was not a fulfillment of the ideals of the Founding but rather a repudiation: we modern Americans are not the heirs of the Founders but of the people who overthrew and destroyed that political order. This alternate understanding of American identity opens the door to a new understanding of ourselves and our story, and ultimately to a better America.

America today is not the Founders’ America, but it can be Lincoln’s America. Roosevelt offers a powerful and inspirational rethinking of our country’s history and offers a shared past that we can be proud to claim and use as a foundation to work toward a country that fully embodies equality for all.
