On the seventh episode of The Constitutionalist, Shane Leary and Dr. Benjamin Kleinerman are joined by Dr. Charles U. Zug, the Kinder Assistant Professor of Constitutional Democracy and Assistant Professor of Political Science in the Truman School of Government and Public Affairs at University of Missouri, and author of the book "Demagogues in American Politics." In the Constitutionalist's first guest episode, they discuss the unique way in which demagoguery manifests itself in constitutional democracy and the state of American rhetoric 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.
