Constitutional Conventions: Theories, Practices and Dynamics (Routledge, 2025) is an excellent edited volume exploring the various ways in which governments and constitutional structures operate in the spaces that are not necessarily articulated in law, edict, or formal documents. This is not a text about the folks who gathered together in 1787 in Philadelphia, or even those who wrote new constitutional structures after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Conventions means the rules that govern the interactions between political actors and the governments they inhabit. In many ways, this refers to the kinds of norms that have grown up around different parts of the systems of government. The strength and endurance of those rules or norms can change over time and in response to crises or dynamic changes. Constitutional Conventions: Theories, Practices, and Dynamics explores these thick and thin dimensions of the governing structures from a comparative perspective, taking up Anglo and American systems in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The book also examines the cases of Hungary and Czechia (the Czech Republic), two post-Cold War systems; and finally, also, China. In considering these constitutional conventions, we can think of them as structures or engagement that is not enforced by the courts, since these are not, per se, written constitutional laws. In long standing liberal democracies, there is an inclination towards adhering to conventions. But when these conventions are under strain, how they work, or maintain “regular order” becomes a critical test within the established governmental systems. Constitutional Conventions provides another dimension of significant interest in the discussion of how China works within these kinds of conventions within the process in which political individuals come up through the governmental and party systems and move into leadership roles. The comparative case study of Hungary and Czechia indicates that even in somewhat similar structures, the conventions and norms are not always the same. Constitutional Conventions: Theories, Practices, and Dynamics is an important analysis of the ways in which governmental structures work beyond what is written or built as the official system. The discussions cover theoretical, practical, and comparative dimensions of our understandings of the processes and functions of governments. Lilly J. Goren is a professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-editor of The Politics of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (University Press of Kansas, 2022), as well as co-editor of the award winning book, Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012), Email her comments at lgoren@carrollu.edu or send her missives at Bluesky @gorenlj.

On this episode: Ohio's ballot measure history is shaped by constitutional debates, major policy shifts, and battles over direct democracy. The 1912 constitutional convention laid the foundation for the state's initiative and referendum process, fueling a surge in ballot activity. The 1919 referendum on Prohibition attempted to overturn the state legislature's ratification of the 18th Amendment—leading to a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Decades later, constitutional revisions in the 1970s reshaped governance, while food tax bans and crime victim rights amendments reflected shifting voter priorities. From right-to-work laws to modern debates on constitutional amendment thresholds, Ohio's ballot measures tell a story of ongoing legal and political evolution.Explore Ohio's Factbook: https://ballotpedia.org/Ohio_Ballot_Measures:_Historical_Ballot_Measures_Factbook Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

John Adams was the most consequential leader and figure when it came to the success and objectives of the American Revolution. Adams spent much of the years 1780-1789 abroad. He helped to conclude the post-war peace treaty with Great Britain, was a Diplomat to Holland and France, and served as the first United States Ambassador to Great Britain. The Constitution of 1780, drafted by John Adams, is the oldest written constitution in the world still in effect. This Constitution, primarily drafted by John Adams, contains a written Declaration (Bill) of Rights and a Frame of Government modeled after the one articulated in Thoughts on Government. The Massachusetts Constitution of 1780 was the primary model for the United States Constitution and the many other subsequent national constitutions that have relied on American government as a model and it is a fitting tribute to the genius of John Adams. The successful transfer of power was made on 4 March 1797. Adams' presidency was fraught with difficulties: The Quasi War with France, the XYZ Affair, and the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. American political parties were just taking shape, but Adams was not a party man.Adams's experiences in the Boston Massacre court case in which he represented 9 British soldiers would guide him as he developed and articulated his philosophy of a government based on the rule of law rather than the rule of individuals. John Adams concluded in the Boston Massacre court case:"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence . . . . [The law] commands that which is good, and punishes evil in all, whether rich, or poor, high, or low. . . . On the one hand [the law] is inexorable to the cries and lamentations of the prisoners; on the other it is deaf, deaf as an adder, to the clamors of the populace."In imagining an ideal judiciary Adams believed that judges should be non-partisan, wise and independent. His wife Abigail Adams, who was in constant correspondence with John Adams through letters, was characteristically progressive for her time period always telling her husband to "Remember the Ladies" even at the Constitutional Conventions.Abigail Adams famously writes in her letter to John Adams: “I long to hear that you have declared an independency—and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies. . . . If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.”Some of John Adams Best Quotes which I highlight in the podcast:1. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.2. I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.3. Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.4. Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people.5. Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.I encourage my audience to read more about the precedence in government established by John Adams as well as watch the HBO series called "John Adams" to learn more about one of the most eminent leaders and ambassadors of the American Revolution and the nation.

In 2015, the world witnessed an Irish social revolution. In a historic referendum vote, the Republic of Ireland voted to extend the constitutional right to marriage to same-sex couples. Thirty years before, sex between men was illegal. From the 1970s, LGBT rights activists advocated tirelessly for decriminalization, fair treatment laws, protection from discrimination, and, most recently, marriage equality. In one of the most Catholic countries in the world, it was never easy. In her book The History of Marriage Equality in Ireland: A Social Revolution Begins (Manchester UP, 2020), Sonja Tiernan charts the long road to the 2015 referendum in one of Ireland's most recent civil rights movements. Join us as we chat about Constitutional Conventions, the power of social media, the so-called “Pantigate,” and that overwhelming moment on May 22, 2015 when the people of Ireland said “Yes” to marriage equality.

I'm finally answering my listener email! It's been a tense... year, and I haven't gone to the inbox for a while. Today that changes! Before that, I can't help but unload a bit about whether or not "the system worked." When I hear people say that, it just does not seem right. But also... it did... kinda? Then I get to your questions and comments, about Constitutional Conventions and lizard people and revolution and progressive policies and more!
Colin Quinn (stand-up comic, actor, writer, Saturday Night Live alum) stops in to talk about his book Overstated – A Coast-to-Coast Roast of All 50 States, and he and Bridget manage to cover, the election, why Bridget should be a criminal profiler and write a book about U-Haul rentals, Colin’s plans for modern-day Constitutional Conventions, the fact that everybody’s crazy now and nobody seems to notice, and they compare psychic experiences (Colin’s involves OJ Simpson). They discuss how odd it is that our society has reached a place where people on the extreme left and right give people in the middle sh*t rather than vice versa, Colin’s elaborate plan to become best friends with Jeff Bezos, how he almost starred in Crocodile Dundee 2, why giving your opinion can be very expensive, and learning the meaning of the word “consequences.”

Evan Mulch, from the John Birch Society, joins us for a discussion on the Constitution and whether a Constitutional Convention is a good idea.
Today's episode features a deep dive into a listener question about Article V Constitutional Conventions. Are they dangerous? (Yes.) Are they a good idea? (No.) We also discuss the latest ridiculous defamation lawsuit.. and discover why this one is a little different. How? You'll have to listen and find out. We begin with a little bit of news you might have missed regarding Attorney General nominee Bill Barr. After that, it's time to answer a listener question about liberal and conservative groups that are angling for an "Article V" Constitutional Convention to overturn Citizens United (or do other things). We delve deeply into this provision of the Constitution and discuss the plusses and (mainly) minuses of this procedure. Then, it's time to dissect the recent lawsuit brought by Gavin McInnes, founder of the "Proud Boys," which Wikipedia calls "a far-right neo-fascist organization that admits only men as members and promotes political violence." Find out why at least one formerly respectable lawyer thinks it's just crazy (and actionable!) that the Southern Poverty Law Center called this a "hate group." And find out why the real question in this lawsuit involves something called "tortious interference" and not defamation. After all that, it's time for the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #113, which involved the constitutionality of abortion regulations.

Chuck and Mark are joined by Professor Adam Winkler as they continue their exploration of the United States Constitution. We take a balanced, deep dive to help Americans better understand the foundations of our country. For this segment of our Constitutional series, they are exploring Articles 4 through 7 of the U.S. Constitution. Chuck and Mark begin with Professor Winkler by exploring the states' relationships between one another, explained in Article 4 Section 1. Professor Winkler explains how it requires states to respects certain rights given to citizens in other states. This moves them into Section 2, which protects citizens moving state-to-state and explains stopping criminals from fleeing to another state. They also discuss if a state must acknowledge rights given to illegal aliens in another state. They continue with Section 3 of Article 4 and cover how Congress cannot create or split a state without the support of that state's legislature, yet it has the power to create rules over federal land. Next, the discuss Section 4 and the responsibility of Congress to guarantee every state has a Republican Form of Government and protect them against invasion. They move to Article 5 and the Amendment process, including Constitutional Conventions for proposing amendments. Professor Winkler explains the benefits and risks that would come from a Constitutions Convention today. Regarding Article 6, Winkler points out that any treaties made by Congress act as the supreme law of the land. He also explains the Supremacy Clause, which states the U.S. Constitution is supreme over state laws. Last, Chuck, Mark, and Professor Winkler explain the ratification of the Constitution in Article 7, which required nine of the thirteen states.
