G – History
Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | September 4, 2024-December 4, 2024
Wednesday: 9:00 AM-10:15 AM
This is a hybrid course. One section meets on site at the location listed; and one section meets online only.
Americans revere the Founding Fathers and admire the constitution but distrust government. These attitudes are inconsistent and paradoxical, and they have a long history. In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan said, “Government is not the solution; government is the problem.” This course covers the arguments over the constitution, especially those of the anti-Federalists. We also analyze theories of the nullification of federal laws by the states. Finally, we look at secession.
