As one of the most radically democratic constitutions in American history, the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776 sought to ensure government “by the people” rather than by a king. In this Cutting Room Floor episode of the FedSoc Films Podcast, we feature three experts from our film “The Drafting of America's First Constitutions,” which explores the development of state constitutions in revolutionary America. Professor John Dinan of Wake Forest College, Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Prof. Robert Williams of Rutgers Law School had lots to say about Pennsylvania's first constitution and its impact on the development of constitutional thought.Thanks again for listening to the FedSoc Films Podcast!

Host Alex Granados talks with John Dinan, a professor of politics at Wake Forest University, about the six constitutional amendments that will be on the ballot in November.
Higher education watchdogs have seen good news in recent years when it comes to free-speech protections on N.C. college campuses. Jenna Robinson, president of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, discusses a new report that grades the campuses based on their policies promoting or limiting speech. It’s no secret that American politics has become increasingly polarized. Duke University ethics professor Walter Sinnott-Armstrong believes more argument could help fight that polarization. Sinnott-Armstrong explained his theory during a recent speech in Raleigh. You’ll hear highlights from his remarks. Before Hurricane Florence stormed through North Carolina, state lawmakers already were talking about ways to improve disaster relief in the wake of the 2016 damage from Hurricane Matthew. Rep. Jimmy Dixon, R-Duplin, explains how government could learn lessons about disaster preparations from the state’s farmers. N.C. voters face six proposed constitutional amendments on the November ballot. John Dinan, professor at Wake Forest University, places North Carolina’s latest proposals in a national context. Dinan is author of the book State Constitutional Politics: Governing by Amendment in the American States. North Carolina’s certificate-of-need law has restricted new medical facilities and major medical equipment for decades. The idea behind the CON law goes back even further. That’s according to Jordan Roberts, John Locke Foundation health care policy analyst. He discusses the history and explains how the CON law hurts those seeking affordable health care options.
Legislators unanimously approved a bill that will lead to an index of North Carolina’s crimes. Supporters hope the proposal marks the first step toward a complete rewrite of the state’s criminal code. Jon Guze, John Locke Foundation director of legal studies, assesses the significance of the new legislation. Guze explains why the state needs to take account of all crimes listed in the General Statutes, as well as those created by state agencies, local governments, and regulatory boards. Americans have amended the U.S. Constitution just 27 times in nearly 230 years. Yet states have amended — and even completely rewritten — their constitutions many more times during that same time period, Political scientist John Dinan of Wake Forest University discusses the contrast between the state and federal amendment processes. Dinan has devoted his latest book to the issue. It’s titled State Constitutional Poltics: Governing by Amendment in the American States. Lawmakers are taking another step toward fighting opioid abuse in North Carolina. During a recent news conference, Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein and Rep. Greg Murphy, R-Pitt, touted potential benefits of the HOPE Act. (During a future program, we’ll highlight some legislators’ privacy concerns about the newly enacted measure.) The N.C. House of Representatives voted 59-53 in 2017 not to move forward with a proposed Convention of States. The convention would proposed amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Despite the loss, convention supporters pushed again this year to revisit the topic. Convention project founder Mark Meckler explains why. More than half of the recently enacted $23.9 billion General Fund budget for 2018-19 focuses on education. That means billions of dollars also targeted other core government issues. Joseph Coletti, John Locke Foundation senior fellow, details some of the other priorities within the budget plan that takes effect July 1.
On this episode: what is Federalism? Who uses it? Why do we separate our powers between the states and the national government, and what are the benefits and challenges of such a system? Our guest is John Dinan, professor at Wake Forest University and editor of Publius, the Journal of Federalism.
Professors John Moser, Jason Stevens, and John Dinan discussed James Madison's Federalist 10 in today's webinar. The background, historical context, and meaning of the document were discussed at length, as well as its importance at the time it was written, and in the over two centuries since. The panelists discussed in detail Madison's concerns with factions, especially majority factions, and how in a republic it was possible for a majority for a develop into a faction that would seek to trample on the rights of the minority. Additionally, a number of questions were asked about Madison's assertion that an extended republic would be more conducive to protecting individuals' rights than a small republic - a key piece of evidence presented by the Federalists in favor of the Constitution.
