    Ep. 316 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Matthew Skic | The Declaration's Journey: 250 Years of America's Founding Document

    It's no secret, we at Constituting America are big fans of the Declaration of Independence.  What Thomas Jefferson so eloquently wrote quite literally changed the world.  But have you stopped to think exactly how it changed the world?  How did it influence other countries who were perhaps seeking independence?  Did you know in the time since our Declaration of Independence was written, over 100 countries have adopted similar declarations, inspired by our Declaration?  To discuss this global impact beyond just words on paper as well as their fantastic landmark exhibit celebrating America 250, we are honored to welcome Matthew Skic from the Museum of the American Revolution as our special guest this week.

    Ep. 315 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Christopher Burkett | Breathing Life into the Law: How the People Ratified the Constitution

    "Consent of the governed."  It's such a powerful phrase in our Declaration of Independence and truly speaks to the heart of the American Experiment.  But what does consent mean?  To dive into this notion of consent and how it is derived and utilized in the creation of our founding documents, we are pleased to welcome long-time friend of Constituting America, Professor Christopher Burkett.  Dr. Burkett is an associate professor of political science and director of the Ashbrook Scholar Program at Ashland University.

    If we were to recognize one physical location as the birthplace of our great nation, it would undoubtedly be Independence Hall in Philadelphia, PA.  Originally serving as the Pennsylvania State House, this is where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated and adopted.  To share more information on this magnificent and historic structure, Constituting America is honored to welcome National Park Service Ranger Luke Hopely to our chat this week.  Luke serves as a park ranger at the National Park Service's Independence National Historical Park.

    We all know the Fourth of July is when we adopted the Declaration of Independence to formally sever ties with the British Crown.  But the physical act of signing the Declaration, and thus affixing the signers' personal oath to that document happened nearly a month later on August 2, 1776.  To discuss the events of that day, we are honored to have Gary Porter return for a second week.  Gary Porter is the founder of former executive director of the Constitution  Leadership Initiative and regular contributor to Constituting America.

    Ep. 312 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Gary Porter | America 250: Going Viral in 1776—How the Press Spread Independence

    In an era of instant global communication, it is hard to fathom a time when it took it took months to communication across the Atlantic or weeks to send letters across the colonies.  But that's the world in which our country was founded.  The role of newspapers is such a vital component to our founding as it's how word of the new Declaration of Independence was transmitted to gain public support for the American Revolution.  To further expound on the role of newspapers and "viral" content for that era, we are pleased to welcome a close friend of Constituting America, Gary Porter to our show.  Gary Porter is a prolific writer and is the founder of former executive director of the Constitution  Leadership Initiative.

    Ep. 311 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Admiral Peter Cressy, USN, Retired | America 250: Washington's Stand Against the British Fleet in New York

    Signing the Declaration of Independence was just the beginning.  We then had to go out and confront the British and earn our independence.  The first major battle of the American Revolution after signing the Declaration of Independence was the Battle of Long Island in the summer of 1776.  Gen. George Washington faced off against a larger and better equipped Naval force and though the Continental Army retreated, General Washington showed traits that would be be vital for the eventual victory in the war.  To discuss the importance of these events and the lessons learned by Gen. Washington and the colonists, we are deeply honored to welcome a great friend to Constituting America.  Dr. Peter Cressy, retired U.S. Rear Admiral, spent 28 years serving in the United States Navy and is a former Chancellor of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

    Ep. 310 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Jay Cost | America 250: Drafting the Articles of Confederation

    The Articles of Confederation were the original set of laws  established to govern the colonies after the Declaration of Independence, and were in effect from 1781 to 1789 when the United States Constitution was ratified.  A defining feature of the Articles was its protection of the colonies' sovereignty and a weak central government.  In discussing the Articles, three important questions must be pondered.  What they were?  Why were they adopted?  Why did they fail?  To answer these questions, we are honored to welcome Dr. Jay Cost, professor of political science at Geneva College and the Gerald R. Ford nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
