September is “Constitution Month,” and Rubric celebrates with a two-part examination of our founding documents. In this first class, we look at the Declaration of Independence, which Lincoln called the “anchor of American republicanism.” We will examine the origins of the Declaration in English and American political experience, dig deep into the “negative constitution” of the Declaration, and consider its historical and current relevance as a source of law. We will also explore the fascinating question of whether the Declaration created one nation or thirteen independent sovereignties, with its implications for the never-ending debate over Federalism.

Special with “Declaration of Independence”: $149 first att’y / $109 each add’l att’y (same line)
September is “Constitution Month,” and Rubric celebrates with a two-part examination of our founding documents. In this second class, we look at the Constitution, not as some fixed and revered compendium of abstract truths, but as the product of real conflict and compromise. We’ll examine the politics of Confederation America in the 1780’s, Shay’s Rebellion, and then step inside the Philadelphia Convention to witness the key compromises that made the Constitution. We’ll look at the messy ratification process, the addition of a Bill of Rights, and finally, we’ll step back to consider the manifold meanings imposed on the Constitution, and the controversial question of how to approach its interpretation.
