Every one of you for being a wonderful attentive audience. Thank you so much. [ applause ] questions for our speaker . Lincoln approached notnothing voters during the 1860 campaign. Did he announce them or try to win them over to the republican . Or how did he fdo that . He said how do you want to welcome those people . I will welcome the nonothings if they will accept in the entirety the republican platform, which does not include exclusion. When lincolns people went out and campaigned and somebody would say, well, what does your boy think about immigration . Lincoln instructed them to tell them that there will be no prejudice at all based on immigration and ethnicity, and theyre more than welcome to vote for the republican ticket, meaning him, but they should not expect the naturalization laws will be increased. They should not expect theres going to be any one group preferable for the other. They should expect there immigrants to fulfill the labor shortage that the civil war created
That the party disputing the acts constitution bears the heavy burden of demonstrating the acts unconstitutionality beyond a reasonable doubt. The contrary principle that i will call judicial engagement is that the judiciarys principle duty is the defense of liberty and that the government, when challenged, bears the burden of demonstrating that its action is in conformity with the constitutions architecture, the purpose of which is to protect liberty. The federal government can dispatch this burden by demonstrating that its action is both necessary and proper for the exercise of an enumerated power. A state or local government can dispatch the burden by demonstrating that its act is within the constitutionally prescribed limits of its police power. The Texas Supreme Court has addressed and dissolved the counterimagi countermajorityian difference. He begins as judicial review began in 1803 with marberry v. Madison in which Justice Marshall wrote the powers of the legislature are define
Policy seems toe contradict any notion he sought to eliminate the weapons. Strategic forces received an increase in funding as he saw the to the modernize all three legs of ballistic bombers, missiles and submarines. To relaunch the b 1 program, to modernize existing bomber force, improve the trident missile. He will produced an additional 17,000 warheads by 1987, a significant increase over the plans of the carter administration. By 1985, u. S. Nuclear forces were more lethal and technically advanced than at any point. American history. It presents a strong con taft to the focus on arms control and arms reduction in his second. Creating a tantalizing narrative of it his sudden reversal. However, the shift in tone is a bit less stark when viewed through the vision of how to achieve vision. Reagan viewed military strength as essential to establishing peace and identified establishing a sound eastwest balance as essential to peace, as well. When he assumed office, he and his National Sec
Emancipation. Its important to us. Because when we think about a reunified United States in the aftermath of civil war, what conclusion must we draw. Clearly, a large majority of the American Free population was not enthusiastic about emancipation. And to come back to a final theme that has been the bedrock of this course throughout, in a democratic society, where a large majority holds a particular value, that is inconsistent with the interest of minority, theres not much reason to be optimistic for the rights of that minority. Remember James Madison had said if majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure. I think that is a foreshadowing of the history of reconstruction on end through the rest of the 19th into the 20th centuries. So very fast whirlwind overview. Next time, were going to zero in on Abraham Lincoln and were going to enter into conversation with him because what lincoln is trying to do more than anything else is shape how we remem
America. But they needed assistance to do so. He asked congress to pass a bill, and Congress Responded on july 4th, 1864, with the first, last, and only time america passed a law to encourage immigration. Lincolns act to encourage immigration was a signature piece of legislation that many of you, who i know have been familiar during the civil war celebration, went by without a single moments attention. Lincoln knew that immigrants played a major role in the building of industrial america, and to his dying day he related to the immigrant in a manner that few of his contemporaries would or could. He told an amusing story about being poor and being able to relate to immigrants. Once again he went back to his flat boat voyage. 8 a month he earned, and he owned one pair of buckskin breeches. Now if you know the nature of buckskin when wet and dried in the sun, lyincoln reminisces, it will shrink. And my britches kept shrinking. And wilhile i was growing talle they were growing shorter and a
