The Constitutionalist

#6 - Civil War Monuments and Anarchy

Episode Summary

On the sixth episode of The Constitutionalist, Shane Leary and Dr. Benjamin Kleinerman make an attempt at discussing the "unwritten constitution," which is overtaken by inquiries into the legacy of the Civil War, and anarchy both at the founding and today. The Constitutionalist is a podcast cohosted by Professor Benjamin Kleinerman, the RW Morrison Professor of Political Science at Baylor University and Founder and Editor of The Constitutionalist Blog, and his student, Shane Leary. Each week, they discuss political news in light of its constitutional implications, and explore a unique constitutional topic, ranging from the thoughts and experiences of America's founders and statesmen, historical episodes, and the broader philosophic ideas that influence the American experiment in government.
