The American Constitution

The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to research and reflect on the historical tradition the Founding Fathers rooted themselves in when writing our founding documents. James McClellan begins Liberty, Order, and Justice with the following words: “The American Constitution is an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary document.” For this paper, provide an explanation of that statement. Discuss the historical traditions in which the American founders grounded themselves. Your paper must address the following 4 major questions (McClellan will help you on the first two questions, Lutz on question 3, and then both authors will help you with question four): 1) What did the Greco-Roman tradition contribute to the American constitutional system? 2) What did the English common-law tradition contribute to the American constitutional system? 3) How did the American constitutional system itself specifically develop from a covenant to a charter, to a constitutional system? 4) What are the specific, major political ideas of the Founding Fathers as a consequence of being rooted in this tradition? Be sure to refer to the Magna Carta, the English Bill of Rights, the Mayflower Compact, and the Fundamental Order of Connecticut, among others, in your answer.

Origins of the Modern Idea of Race

This case considers the impact of the modern idea of a race on European societies from its emergence in the late eighteenth century to the present day. It is divided into three parts:  •        What is race? Part one examines the writings of the main theorists of race and assesses the role of racial determinism in the transformation of the educational, political and other spheres of European social life, from the care of the body through physical education to racial discrimination, i.e., social exclusion on the basis of race;  •        What are the origins of racial hatred as it applies to the Jewish experience in Europe? Part two explores the origins of antisemitism and examines its culmination in Nazi ideology and the Holocaust.  •        How has the international community tried to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination after the Second World War and how effective has it been? Part three concludes the case study by examining racial prejudice in contemporary Europe in the post-World War Two context of international legislation for the elimination of racial discrimination.
