Arthur Herman explains the American founders were heavily influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, particularly the ideas of David Hume and Adam Smith regarding the pursuit of happiness. This subjective right was prioritized over property to potentially allow for the future abolition of slavery. The founding spirit extended to the Northwest Ordinance, creating communities like Marietta, Ohio, that were dedicated to education, religion, and freedom. (10)1738

C Constable reports from France on the high heat and smoke impact near Bordeaux. The discussion shifts to surging energy prices, with Brent crude rising 26% and European gas up 36%. Despite high energy costs, rising copper prices suggest potential industrial growth. (1)Simon Constable and Jim McTague continue with a quiz highlighting that typical data centers use 300,000 gallons of water daily, while larger ones can reach 5 million gallons. Currently, most centers are urban, but 67% of planned facilities are rural. In Lancaster County, a "tale of two data centers" emerges as one town embraces the revenue stream while another resists it due to misinformation and fear. (2)Cliff May argues for maximum pressure and coercive diplomacy to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He advocates for a naval blockade, specifically targeting oil exports from Kharg Island to strangle the regime's revenue. May emphasizes that the Iranian leadership's ideology makes them likely to use nuclear weapons, necessitating a strategy to cripple the regime's power. (3)John Hardie and Bill Roggio cover the significant leadership change in Ukraine as General Drapatyi replaces General Syrskyi as commander-in-chief. Drapatyi is seen as a representative of a new, western-style generation of officers who embrace technological innovation and listen to subordinates. The transition aims to "desovietize" the military and maintain the momentum of successful drone offensives against Russian infrastructure. (4)Anatol Lieven examines how the Ukraine and Iran conflicts are merging into one global struggle following a Ukrainiandrone strike on an Iranian vessel. This escalation threatens global energy supplies of refined oil products, as Russianrefineries struggle with capacity. While Ukraine targets the Russian middle class to undermine support for the war, Lieven warns of a widening proxy war involving China, North Korea, and Iran. (5)Anatol Lieven turns to Britain's new political era under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is described as the Labour Party's "last chance" to address a discredited government. Burnham faces immense financial pressure, particularly regarding the costs of healthcare for the elderly and dementia. To succeed, he may need to pivot from "Net Zero" policies to prioritize energy needs and seek a new mandate through an election. (6)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett of MIT explain hierarchical merging, a process where black holes merge repeatedly to create larger "monsters." By analyzing gravitational waves from 155 binary pairs, they discovered that 14% are second-generation black holes, born from previous mergers rather than stellar collapse. These second-generation black holes are characterized by rapid spin and mass asymmetry, providing clues to how supermassive black holes form in galaxies. (7)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett continue: to uncover the origins of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, scientists propose building larger gravitational wave detectors scaled up by a factor of ten. These advanced observatories would allow researchers to peer further back into cosmic history, potentially detecting black holes from the very early universe. Expanding the global network to four or five detectors would help pinpoint host galaxies and detect the formation of heavy elements. (8)Arthur Herman recounts the historic 1896 meeting where Henry Ford pitched his internal combustion engine to a skeptical Thomas Edison. Edison's encouragement served as the catalyst for Ford's revolution in American transportation. This industrial transformation was further enabled by John D. Rockefeller, whose ability to lower oil prices made gasoline an economically feasible fuel for mass production. The segment also highlights George Washington's vision for a professional Continental Army. (9)Arthur Herman explains the American founders were heavily influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, particularly the ideas of David Hume and Adam Smith regarding the pursuit of happiness. This subjective right was prioritized over property to potentially allow for the future abolition of slavery. The founding spirit extended to the Northwest Ordinance, creating communities like Marietta, Ohio, that were dedicated to education, religion, and freedom. (10)Arthur Herman characterizes Abraham Lincoln as a founder for his vision of an America without slavery and his willingness to risk the Union to fulfill the Declaration of Independence. His administration's legacy includes the Homestead Act and the Transcontinental Railroad, which expanded the "empire of liberty." Additionally, the Civil War era facilitated the rise of Andrew Carnegie, who later revolutionized the global steel industry using the Bessemerprocess. (11)Arthur Herman reframes the Gilded Age not as an era of greed, but as a period of unprecedented opportunity and connectivity driven by the railroad. James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway fostered regional prosperity and negotiated fairly with Native American tribes. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison's relentless competitiveness and "restless mind" led to the electrification of the nation and the invention of the phonograph, inspiring future generations of founders like Elon Musk. (12)Arthur Herman contrasts Woodrow Wilson's attempt to centrally manage industry during World War I, which resulted in logistical chaos and failure, with FDR's embrace of the private sector for World War II, appointing GM's Bill Knudsento lead mobilization. By relying on the incentives of the marketplace, Knudsen successfully converted American manufacturing into a massive war machine, producing more war material than the world imagined in just 18 months. (13)Arthur Herman presents Martin Luther King Jr. as a founder who refounded the American experiment by taking risks to fulfill the promise of equality. The segment explores the eternal conflict between the bold "founder mindset" and the cautious "manager instinct" that emerged in the 1950s. While managers seek stability and predictability, founders drive innovation and national greatness, preventing the American dream from becoming stagnant and stale. (14)Arthur Herman credits Vannevar Bush's "The Endless Frontier" manifesto with persuading FDR to fund basic scientific research through universities, laying the groundwork for Silicon Valley. This federal support enabled discoveries in information theory and microchip development, transforming the American economy. The evolution from massive mainframes like the IBM 360 to modern microchips illustrates the imaginative leap of founders who see opportunities where others see only current technology. (15)Arthur Herman concludes that today's founders, including Elon Musk and Donald Trump, continue the tradition of taking massive risks to fulfill bold visions. Musk's goals for SpaceX and Mars are described as a step-by-step process of industrial manufacturing and innovation. Central to this enduring success is the Patent Act of 1790, a unique constitutional protection that ensures individuals own the products of their minds, fueling 250 years of American discovery. (16)Corrections applied per the log: John Hardie (transcribed as "Hardy," segment 4) and Labour Party (UK spelling, segment 6). I also dropped the phonetic "(Chopati)" after General Drapatyi in segment 4 — that's Mykhailo Drapatyi, so the first spelling stands. One to confirm for the log: Kalin Plunkett (segments 7–8) — I couldn't verify this MIT researcher's spelling; if it's from audio, it may need checking against the MIT LIGO group roster.

Biblical education built America's first schools, and it still forms virtuous citizens today.In this episode, Pastor Nathan Brown walks through the original documents behind American education — the Old Deluder Satan Act of 1647, the New England Primer, Harvard's 1646 Rules and Precepts, and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 — and shows that biblical education was the whole point from the beginning. He makes the case that there is no such thing as neutral education, that biblical literacy is a spiritual battle, and that Christians carry a covenantal duty to pass God's Word to the next generation. Perfect for the commute, the gym, or the drive.You'll Learn:✅ What Deuteronomy 6 and Psalm 78 require of Christian homes✅ Why colonial literacy rates outran the rest of the world✅ The four consequences of severing education from Scripture

This Day in Legal History: The Northwest OrdinanceOn July 13, 1787, the Confederation Congress adopted the Northwest Ordinance, one of the most important laws in American history—and one passed under the Articles of Confederation, before the Constitution even existed. Its formal subject was dry: how to govern the vast territory north and west of the Ohio River. But in answering that question, it set precedents that shaped the entire future of the nation.The Ordinance did several remarkable things at once. It created an orderly process by which frontier territories would move through stages of self-government and eventually be admitted to the Union as new states—fully equal to the original thirteen, not as colonies or dependencies. That single principle, that new territory would become co-equal states rather than subordinate possessions, distinguished the American project from every empire that had come before. The Ordinance also guaranteed a set of rights to settlers in the territory: freedom of religion, the right to trial by jury, habeas corpus, and proportionate representation—a bill of rights in miniature, adopted before the Bill of Rights.And in its most consequential provision, Article 6, the Ordinance banned slavery throughout the Northwest Territory—the future states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota. It was the first time the national government prohibited slavery in a defined territory, drawing a line that would harden over the decades into the divide between free states and slave states, and setting up the bitter fights over the expansion of slavery that culminated in the Civil War. The significance of July 13, 1787 is that a Congress often dismissed as weak and ineffectual produced a statute of enduring genius—a template for national growth, an early charter of liberties, and a foundational stand, however partial, against slavery.Apple has sued OpenAI in federal court in Northern California, accusing the AI company of a systematic scheme to steal its trade secrets in order to break into consumer hardware. It's a striking reversal for two companies that struck a high-profile partnership back in 2024. Apple's complaint alleges misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract, claiming OpenAI leaned on former Apple employees—more than 400 now work there—along with aggressive recruiting and supplier relationships to vacuum up confidential information. Apple points a finger at OpenAI's hardware chief, a former Apple vice president, alleging he told job candidates still employed at Apple to bring “actual parts” to interviews for “show and tell,” and that another departing employee downloaded dozens of files on unreleased products. Trade-secret law protects confidential business information that gives a company a competitive edge, and the case will turn on whether OpenAI crossed the line from lawfully hiring talent—people are allowed to change jobs and use their general skills—into unlawfully exploiting Apple's protected secrets. Given the two firms' size and the stakes in the AI hardware race, this is shaping up to be a marquee tech dispute.Apple sues OpenAI alleging misappropriation of trade secrets, court records show | ReutersA federal judge has ruled that disabled Justice Department immigration lawyers can keep working from home while they press a lawsuit challenging the department's return-to-office mandate. Two attorney-advisers at the immigration courts won a preliminary injunction from Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles in the Eastern District of Virginia, temporarily halting the no-telework policy as applied to them. Their claim rests on the Rehabilitation Act, the federal statute requiring the government, as an employer, to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities—here, remote work they say is necessary to protect their health. The administration's broad directive ordering federal workers back to the office full-time collided with that individualized duty. A preliminary injunction isn't a final ruling; it means the plaintiffs showed they're likely to win and would suffer irreparable harm without relief. The significance is the tension it spotlights: a government-wide, one-size-fits-all workplace policy still has to bend to statutory disability-accommodation rights, and this ruling suggests courts will enforce that limit even against the executive's management of its own workforce.US judge says DOJ lawyers can work from home pending lawsuit over telework policy | ReutersThe administration extended work permits for hundreds of thousands of immigrants with Temporary Protected Status from Haiti and six other countries just hours before they were set to expire. It's worth being precise about what actually changed. TPS is a humanitarian designation that lets people from countries in crisis live and work here legally. Last month the Supreme Court cleared the way for the administration to end TPS for Haitians and Syrians—but what was extended here is narrower: the validity of the employment-authorization documents that workers and employers rely on for I-9 and E-Verify purposes. Haitians got two extra weeks, to July 24; those from Syria, Ethiopia, Somalia, Yemen, South Sudan, and Myanmar got one. The underlying TPS designations remain in legal limbo, awaiting district-court orders expected at the end of July. The significance is both humanitarian and practical: the reprieve came as some employers had already begun terminating these workers, and it underscores how much uncertainty TPS holders are living under—their ability to keep a job now measured in days and weeks while the courts sort out their status.US extends work permits for Haitians, other immigrants with Temporary Protected Status | ReutersAnd finally, a federal appeals court has sanctioned a lawyer for filing a brief riddled with fake, AI-generated case citations—the latest entry in a fast-growing genre. The Eleventh Circuit rebuked the attorney with a line destined for law-review footnotes: “Whatever the merits of artificial intelligence, it is no substitute for actual intelligence.” The problem is by now familiar: generative AI tools will, with total confidence, invent case names, citations, and quotations that do not exist—”hallucinations”—and lawyers who paste that output into filings without checking are presenting fictional law to a court. That breaches a basic professional duty. Under Rule 11 and the courts' inherent authority, attorneys must certify that their legal contentions are grounded in real, existing law, and courts have been escalating the consequences—reimbursed fees, fines, and public reprimands—as the same mistake keeps recurring despite repeated warnings. The significance isn't that AI is banned from law practice; it plainly isn't. It's that the tool doesn't dilute the lawyer's responsibility one bit. You can use AI to draft, but you still have to verify, because when you sign a brief you vouch for every citation in it—and “the computer made it up” is not a defense.US appeals court rebukes lawyer over fake, hallucinated case citations | Reuters This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: Vermont Bans SlaveryOn July 8, 1777, delegates meeting in Windsor adopted the Constitution of the Vermont Republic—and in doing so, Vermont became the first place in North America to write the prohibition of slavery into its founding law. At a moment when the newly declared United States tolerated and protected human bondage, a small, unrecognized republic on the frontier put a very different principle on paper.The relevant language was striking for its era. The Vermont constitution declared that all people are born equally free and independent, and it provided that no adult could be held as a servant, slave, or apprentice against their will—specifically, no man over twenty-one and no woman over eighteen. It was not a complete abolition; the age limits meant the document did not immediately free everyone, and enforcement in practice was uneven and incomplete for years afterward. But as a matter of constitutional text, it was the first time on this continent that a government's foundational law declared slavery inconsistent with the very idea of being born free.The context matters. In 1777, Vermont was not yet a state—it wouldn't join the Union until 1791—and it existed in a kind of legal limbo, claimed by both New York and New Hampshire and recognized by neither. That outsider status may have given its drafters room to be bolder than their contemporaries. While the framers of the national government were negotiating the compromises that would embed slavery in American law for another four generations—the three-fifths clause, the fugitive slave clause, the twenty-year protection of the slave trade—Vermont's drafters wrote the opposite conviction into their first article.The significance of July 8, 1777 is partly symbolic and partly practical. Symbolically, it established that abolition was not some later invention imposed on a reluctant founding generation, but a principle that existed at the founding itself, chosen by people who could see the contradiction between declaring all men free and holding some in bondage. Practically, Vermont's provision became an early data point in the long argument that would run through the Northwest Ordinance, the gradual emancipation statutes of the northern states, the abolitionist movement, the Civil War, and finally the Thirteenth Amendment. It's a reminder that constitutional law is not just handed down from the most powerful actors—that sometimes the boldest legal principles come from the margins, from a place that wasn't even sure it counted as a state, writing down what it believed the law ought to be.A former Milwaukee County judge, Hannah Dugan, has been sentenced in federal court after being convicted of obstructing an immigration arrest outside her courtroom—a case that became a flashpoint in the fight over the Trump administration's use of courthouses to stage immigration enforcement. Dugan, who is 67 and was an elected circuit court judge, was found guilty of obstructing a federal proceeding, though a jury acquitted her of a lesser concealment charge.Federal immigration agents came to Dugan's courthouse to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican man who was scheduled to appear before her on misdemeanor assault charges. Prosecutors said Dugan directed him out through a non-public “jury door” in an effort to help him avoid the agents waiting in the public hallway. It didn't work—Flores-Ruiz walked through a public hallway with his attorney anyway, and agents arrested him outside after a brief foot chase. But the government charged Dugan criminally for what she did inside the courthouse, and a federal jury convicted her in December.Think about the competing principles colliding here. On one side is the idea that no one, not even a judge, gets to physically obstruct federal law enforcement carrying out its duties. On the other is a real institutional worry that animated a lot of the coverage: if immigration agents stake out courthouses, people with pending cases—victims, witnesses, defendants—may stop showing up at all, which grinds the ordinary work of the state courts to a halt. Dugan's defenders framed her actions as protecting the functioning of her courtroom; prosecutors framed them as obstruction of a federal operation. The jury sided with the government on the core charge.At sentencing, the two sides were far apart. Federal prosecutors declined to recommend a specific term but argued the guidelines called for fifteen to twenty-one months in prison. Dugan's lawyers disputed that calculation and asked U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman for time served—no prison at all. The significance of the case goes well beyond one judge. It's a marker of how aggressively the administration is willing to pursue anyone perceived to interfere with immigration enforcement, up to and including a sitting judge, and it sends a message to state and local officials everywhere about the personal legal risk of getting between federal agents and their targets.Ex-Wisconsin judge to be sentenced for obstructing immigration arrest | ReutersBayer is moving to bring an end to the sprawling federal litigation over its Roundup weedkiller, following a significant win at the Supreme Court. Late last month, the Court ruled 7-2 in Bayer's favor, and the company is now trying to convert that decision into the dismissal of the failure-to-warn claims that have driven nearly a decade of lawsuits.Thousands of plaintiffs have sued Bayer alleging that Roundup, and specifically its active ingredient glyphosate, caused their non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and that the company violated state law by failing to warn them of that cancer risk. Bayer's winning argument was about federal preemption—the principle that when federal and state law conflict, federal law wins. Bayer argued that because the Environmental Protection Agency has concluded glyphosate poses no cancer risk and requires no cancer warning on the label, plaintiffs can't use state failure-to-warn law to demand a warning the federal regulator affirmatively says isn't needed. The Supreme Court agreed, overturning a $1.25 million Missouri verdict in the process.Consider why this is such a powerful tool for Bayer. A failure-to-warn claim says, in essence, “you should have told me this was dangerous.” But if the federal agency in charge has studied the product and decided no warning is warranted, then a state jury ordering the company to warn anyway would effectively be overriding the federal regulator. Preemption resolves that conflict in favor of the federal standard. The practical effect is that the single most common theory in the Roundup litigation—failure to warn—is now largely off the table in the cases this ruling reaches.The significance is real but, importantly, not total. This should let Bayer dismiss current warning-based claims and block future ones, which is exactly why the company is now pressing courts to wind down the federal litigation, and it's pairing that push with a proposed $7.25 billion class-action settlement to sweep in remaining Roundup users. But the decision doesn't make every claim disappear. Plaintiffs may still pursue theories that don't depend on a failure to warn—like defective design—and the settlement obligations remain. So this is a milestone in Bayer's long campaign to contain its liability, not the final word. It's also a notable example of how federal regulatory findings can become a shield against state tort law, a doctrine with implications well beyond weedkiller.Bayer seeks end to federal Roundup litigation after Supreme Court win | ReutersFederal judges are sounding skeptical of a California law that bans employers from forcing workers to attend so-called “captive audience” meetings—mandatory gatherings where a company shares its views on political or religious matters, most often its opposition to unionizing. The law has already been blocked by a district court, and the signs from the bench suggest that skepticism may carry through on appeal.Here's what a captive audience meeting is and why it's contested. When a union organizing drive is underway, employers have long held mandatory meetings where attendance is required and workers listen to management make the case against unionizing. Unions call these coercive; employers call them protected speech. California's SB 399 tried to ban compelling attendance at meetings covering “political matters,” a category defined broadly enough to include unionization. Judge Daniel Calabretta of the Eastern District of California blocked the law, and his reasoning is the crux of the whole fight.He gave two independent grounds, and it's worth separating them. The first is federal preemption—the same principle at work in the Bayer story. Calabretta found that the National Labor Relations Act, which governs labor relations nationwide, occupies this field and preempts California's attempt to regulate it under the Machinists and Garmon preemption doctrines. The second ground is the First Amendment: he held that the law was a content-based restriction on employer speech, singling out “political” and “religious” topics, and that it couldn't survive strict scrutiny—the most demanding test in constitutional law, which almost nothing passes. In his view, banning all speech on those topics in mandatory meetings swept far too broadly.The significance here is that this is a collision between the labor movement's priorities and employers' free-speech claims, and right now the free-speech and preemption arguments are winning in court. A number of states have passed captive-audience bans, so how the Ninth Circuit ultimately rules—California and Attorney General Rob Bonta are expected to appeal—will shape whether this entire category of worker-protection law survives. It's a reminder that even popular labor legislation has to run a gauntlet of federal preemption and the First Amendment, and that employer speech, including anti-union speech, gets substantial constitutional protection.US judges leery of California ban on workplace captive-audience meetings | Reuters This is a public episode.

The Northwest Ordinance 

In this episode of #FactsMatter, Guy Gordon and Research Council President Eric Lupher continue their deep dive into the question Michigan voters will face in November 2026: Should the state convene a constitutional convention? They break down Article VII-Local Government and discuss how Michigan's local government system has evolved from the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 to today's sprawling network of 1,800+ counties, cities, townships, villages, and the hundreds of special authorities that have emerged over time. Lupher explains that despite never having been amended, the structure is riddled with unresolved structural issues that a con-con could finally address. He also walks through why this structure creates both local control and major inefficiencies, how state laws have steadily eroded home rule, and why outdated constitutional language no longer reflects how counties operate. Their conversation traces the origins of Michigan's local government map to the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, explores how townships evolved into major population centers, and examines the proliferation of special authorities—now numbering more than 400 statewide—created to deliver services that individual municipalities can't efficiently provide on their own. Gordon and Lupher unpack the core tension at the heart of Article VII: efficiency and modernization versus accountability and home rule. They examine how overlapping jurisdictions complicate economic development and how state laws increasingly override local decision-making. The episode also highlights areas where Michigan's constitution no longer reflects reality—such as outdated provisions on county governance that conflict with “one person, one vote” requirements—and considers whether a constitutional convention could resolve these inconsistencies or rethink the balance of power among county officials. Lupher emphasizes that while Article VII is ripe for review, any reforms must preserve the constitution's role as a durable framework rather than a detailed policy manual. For policymakers, civic leaders, and anyone interested in Michigan's governance, this episode offers a clear, accessible overview of the structural questions that could shape a future constitutional convention.

Join us for a powerful conversation with Cecily Relucio, founder and co-director of Umuwi Ethnic Studies, as she shares transformative strategies for teaching honest history through an anti-racist, community-centered lens. In this episode, Cecily opens up about her personal journey with Ethnic Studies as a daughter of Filipino immigrants and explains how reclaiming her identity led to understanding the interconnected struggles of marginalized communities. Drawing on Paulo Freire's concept of "education as the practice of freedom," she makes a compelling case that teaching truth isn't just about knowledge—it's about liberation and helping students see themselves as powerful contributors to their communities. Cecily provides three actionable strategies for educators committed to honest history. First, she introduces the concept of building a "why sanctuary"—documenting your core motivation for this work to sustain you through challenges. Second, she emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and unlearning, studying histories through an anti-oppressive lens while asking critical questions about power, harm, and justice. Third, she offers concrete guidance on building culturally responsive curricula, including specific examples like teaching settler colonialism when discussing the founding of the United States and examining documents such as the Northwest Ordinance and the Treaty of Fort Wayne. Throughout the conversation, Cecily shares valuable resources from organizations like the Zinn Education Project, Learning for Justice, and the Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum Consortium. She also addresses the real challenges educators face when teaching honest history and emphasizes the critical importance of community support, sharing a moving story of community mobilization at her daughter's school. This episode is essential listening for educators who believe in building a multiracial democracy centered on human dignity and want practical tools for teaching history that honors truth and promotes justice.

Ohio's billion dollar plus religious school voucher program is blatantly unconstitutional. So ruled a state judge this summer, putting political leaders and their increasing hostility towards public education on a collision course with Ohio's constitution and the schools that are a backbone of this state. We talk to policy experts and school district leaders about the ruling, learn about the Northwest Ordinance (thanks Jack!), and hear from Ohioans who are equal parts terrified and hopeful about the future of both public education and democracy in this state.

In the latest episode of Liberty and Learning, Mark Levin engages in a deep and insightful dialogue with Dr. Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, about the complexities of the Department of Education and its implications on American education. The conversation begins with a historical overview of the Department of Education, established in 1978, and its evolution into a powerful central authority that wields significant influence over educational policies across the nation. Levin and Arnn discuss how the federal government has used its financial resources to impose conditions on states and educational institutions, steering them towards uniformity and compliance with federal regulations. This centralization of education, they argue, undermines the fundamental principles of self-governance and local control that are essential to a thriving democracy. A significant focus of the episode is the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, a landmark piece of legislation that set the framework for how new territories would be governed and emphasized the importance of education. Arnn highlights the moral foundation laid out in the Ordinance, which states that 'religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall ever be encouraged.' This perspective on education as a moral imperative contrasts sharply with the current bureaucratic approach that often prioritizes compliance over character development. As the discussion unfolds, Levin and Arnn reflect on the pressing need for educational reform that returns power to local communities, allowing parents, teachers, and students to shape their educational experiences. They advocate for a system that encourages competition among states, fostering innovation and accountability in education, rather than a one-size-fits-all federal mandate. Looking ahead, the episode also touches on the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States and the importance of celebrating the principles laid out in the Declaration of Independence. Levin and Arnn emphasize that understanding and teaching these foundational documents is crucial for the next generation, as they embody the ideals of freedom and self-governance that continue to resonate today. Liberty and Learning with Mark Levin and Dr. Larry Arnn is a 10-part series, hosted by veteran broadcaster and constitutional law expert, Mark Levin, and his good friend, Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, dives deep into the founding principles of the U.S., as Americans face both crisis and opportunity. Levin and Arnn take listeners on a journey forward, as they unpack the country's basic foundations and the self-government they require. Mark Levin and Dr. Arnn bring their knowledge and wisdom to bear in a candid conversation between lifelong friends on today's latest news events. They will touch on the points of crisis in America, addressing each in light of our constitutional government, and tackling the pressing issues of our time to see how they fit into the grand tapestry of American history. The discussion will delve deep into the issues at the forefront of our nation's concerns, like education, borders, citizenship, separation of powers, state and local government, and much more.

One of the most important foundational documents in American history, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 is one that most people never learn about. Following principles outlined by Thomas Jefferson in 1784, it included a precursor to the bill of rights four years before one was added to the Constitution, it banned slavery in the territories decades before the same language was copied into the 13th Amendment, and led to the creation of the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The post History Ignored: The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

Scholars working in archaeology, education, history, geography, and politics tell a nuanced story about the people and dynamics that reshaped this region and determined who would control it. The Ohio Valley possesses some of the most resource-rich terrain in the world. Its settlement by humans was thus consequential not only for shaping the geographic and cultural landscape of the region but also for forming the United States and the future of world history. Settling Ohio begins with an overview of the first people who inhabited the region, who built civilizations that moved massive amounts of earth and left an archaeological record that drew the interest of subsequent settlers and continues to intrigue scholars. It highlights how, in the eighteenth century, Native Americans who migrated from the East and North interacted with Europeans to develop impressive trading networks and how they navigated complicated wars and sought to preserve national identities in the face of violent attempts to remove them from their lands.  Settling Ohio: First Peoples and Beyond (Ohio UP, 2023) situates the traditional story of Ohio settlement, including the Northwest Ordinance, the dealings of the Ohio Company of Associates, and early road building, into a far richer story of contested spaces, competing visions of nationhood, and complicated relations with Indian peoples. By so doing, the contributors provide valuable new insights into how chaotic and contingent early national politics and frontier development truly were. Chapters highlighting the role of apple-growing culture, education, African American settlers, and the diverse migration flows into Ohio from the East and Europe further demonstrate the complex multiethnic composition of Ohio's early settlements and the tensions that resulted. A final theme of this volume is the desirability of working to recover the often-forgotten history of non-White peoples displaced by the processes of settler colonialism that has been, until recently, undervalued in the scholarship.

This episode of the Thinking Spatially podcast examines how the Northwest Ordinance Act in the USA impacted surveying and settling of the land, geographic thought, and geotechnologies.  The post Northwest Ordinance Act: Surveying and Settling the Land appeared first on Joseph Kerski, Ph.D. - Geographer.

On this day in history, in 1787, the Congress of the Confederation, the body operating under the Articles of Confederation and precursor to the United States Congress, passed the Northwest Ordinance. The Northwest Ordinance, officially titled "An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States, North-West of the River Ohio," was an act passed by the Confederation Congress of the United States on July 13, 1787. This legislative act created a structured process for territories to evolve into states, outlining the path from political wilderness to full statehood. The ordinance addressed the territories that had been obtained from Great Britain after the Revolutionary War through the 1783 Treaty of Paris, namely the region north of the Ohio River, east of the Mississippi River, and south of the Great Lakes.On July 13, 1787, the Confederation Congress established this ordinance which served as a prototype for the incorporation of future U.S. territories. The Northwest Ordinance is considered one of the most impactful elements of the Articles of Confederation era because it set forth a policy for the orderly expansion of the United States across North America.The ordinance provided for the political and civil rights of the inhabitants and banned slavery in the territories. Additionally, it declared that the new states would enter the Union "on an equal footing with the original States," which was a profound statement of democratic principle – if you view the democratic distribution of someone else's land as true democracy. The ordinance led to the creation of five states: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Thus, the Northwest Ordinance was a foundational policy that shaped the way the U.S. grew and expanded in its early years.Northwest Ordinance (1787) | National ArchivesDaugherty Lordan, a law firm established after a mass departure from Lewis Brisbois, has been facing a series of exits after its leaders were removed due to past racist, sexist, and antisemitic emails. Over 30 people, including a name partner Joseph Lordan, have left the firm. Lordan has joined O'Hagan Meyer as co-managing partner of the San Francisco office, and five other former partners and twenty employees from Daugherty Lordan have also shifted to O'Hagan Meyer.The situation at Daugherty Lordan echoes the turbulence that occurred at Lewis Brisbois when nearly 140 attorneys left to form the new firm. These changes have led to questions about Daugherty Lordan's future and the need for possible rebranding. The firm had already undergone a name change in June after co-founders John Barber and Jeff Ranen were ousted when their inappropriate emails were released.Lewis Brisbois disclosed the offending emails, some dating back more than a decade, sent from Barber and Ranen's work accounts. Additional exits include attorneys shifting to Freeman Mathis & Gary, Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, and Ogletree Deakins. Lewis Brisbois has noted some attorneys have returned to the firm but declined to provide specific numbers.Lewis Brisbois Defector Firm Sees Exits After Racist Emails (1)Elon Musk's recent lawsuit against law firm Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz over the Twitter Inc. acquisition brings to light the increasing use of success fees by law firms for handling critical deals. Wachtell, known for its handling of transactions and litigation like an investment bank, is being sued by Twitter's parent company, X Corp, for an alleged "unjust enrichment" through a $90 million payment. Musk's lawsuit, filed on July 5 in the San Francisco Superior Court, seeks restitution of these funds.Success fees, which are increasingly favored by clients wary of law firms overcharging or unnecessarily expanding work, are growing in popularity in the legal industry. Such a fee model has been especially adopted by large corporations and major companies disillusioned with hourly billings. Wachtell is renowned for its pioneering use of success fees, having one of the highest profits per equity partner in the industry and often linking its fees to the success of the deals it handles.The suit highlights Wachtell's billing practices, with the firm often receiving fees comparable to 60-80% of those paid to investment advisors. Despite the $90 million fee being a minute fraction of the $44 billion Musk paid for Twitter, Bruce MacEwen, a law firm consultant, argues that the value provided was reasonable. Wachtell has faced similar litigation in the past, but has maintained its stance that in certain cases, charging by the hour makes little sense and that their fees are not necessarily based on the amount involved in a matter.Musk Suit Against Wachtell Hits Pioneering Use of Success FeesThe U.S. Senate has confirmed Tiffany Cartwright, a civil rights lawyer, as one of the country's youngest federal judges. Born in 1985, Cartwright will join the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, a position left vacant by Judge Benjamin Hale who semi-retired in 2020. This confirmation, along with that of Kymberly Evanson, means President Joe Biden has now appointed all active judges in the Western District. Including Cartwright, Biden has appointed several judges under 40 years old. Some critics, largely Republicans, have expressed concerns over the age and limited legal experience of Biden's appointees.Cartwright, a civil rights lawyer and former public defender, has had a different career path to the judiciary than many others. Several groups have endorsed her nomination, emphasizing her diverse experiences and commendable litigation and trial skills. Also, Myong Joun, a Boston municipal court Judge, was up for a vote of confirmation. If confirmed, he would be the first Asian-American man to serve as a federal judge in Massachusetts. The Congressional Black Caucus expressed concerns over the nomination of two other candidates, Brandon Long and Jerry Edwards, criticizing a lack of meaningful participation in the selection process.Senate Confirms One of Judiciary's Youngest Trial Court JudgesU.S. prosecutors and IRS agents are pursuing investigations into wealthy individuals suspected of illicitly exploiting Puerto Rico's tax breaks. The island has used significant incentives to attract wealthy Americans over the past decade, but authorities are now scrutinizing whether individuals have falsified their residency duration and income sources. Professionals who promoted the tax program are also under investigation. Prosecutors are considering charges of conspiracy and wire fraud, and two criminal investigations could result in charges soon.Since 2012, over 5,000 Americans have qualified for incentives that exempt them from federal income tax and taxes on dividends, interest, and capital gains. Yet, lawyers indicate that the residency requirements are stringent, leading some to cheat. To qualify, individuals must stay on the island at least 183 days a year and demonstrate a closer connection to Puerto Rico than the U.S.The tax incentives have attracted many investors, including those from the crypto sector. However, local residents argue that these wealthy Americans are escalating real estate prices and paying fewer taxes than native Puerto Ricans. As a result, local legislation is underway that could revamp the incentives.IRS Preparing Criminal Cases Against Tax Cheats in Puerto Rico Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Just before Ohio became a state in 1803, the U.S. government passed the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 to regulate the settlement of the Northwest Territory. There was cooperation between settlers and the Indigenous people of Ohio in those years before statehood, an exchange of ideas and technology and lots of intermarriage in cosmopolitan communities. But over time, pressure from the new settlers for more land increased.And so, the early years of statehood were full of conflict and death. U.S. leaders pressed for treaty after treaty, all with questionable motives, and the Ohio tribes were pushed onto reservations further and further north in the state. Then, the U.S. government imposed forced removals.But the descendants of those Indigenous people who were forced to leave their homelands in Ohio exist today.This spring, join Neenah Ellis and Chris Welter at the Eichelberger Center for Community Voices at WYSO Public Radio to hear Native men and women from different tribes and their allies—plus teachers, artists, scholars, parents, landowners, foresters, young people, and historians, too—tell their stories about the lands above the Ohio River, known as the Ohio Country.Some episodes will be sad and difficult to hear—but important, we think, so Ohio can face and embrace all of its rich, layered complicated self. The Ohio Country is a forthcoming series from WYSO and funded by Ohio Humanities. You can listen at WYSO.org, ohiohumanities.org, and in all those other places where you get podcasts.This series is made possible, in part, by the National Endowment for the Humanities' A More Perfect Union initiative.

During the first half of the 19th century, Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin was a crossroads that attracted men and women of all backgrounds. Among them were five Black women who represented a variety of experiences. Although the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 outlawed slavery in the areas that would become Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio, a patchwork of laws enabled white slaveholders to retain possession of four of the five women. Historian Mary Elise Antoine will tell us about the degrees of servitude that existed in Wisconsin and the efforts that some of them took to secure their freedom.

When Satan shows the Lord Jesus all the kingdoms of this world -in a moment in time,- he is attempting to cast a -glamour- over him -Luke 4-5-6-. In John 8-44, our Lord informs us that Satan is both a murderer and a liar, -for he is a liar and the father of lies.---Satan's claim contains at least two lies. Nobody gave him the authority and glory over the kingdoms of this world- he simply moved in when Adam and Eve were forced to leave. And he cannot do anything without God's authority.--One of Satan's greatest lies is that God should not have anything to do with civil government. The devil has cast a glamour over people to believe such nonsense based on a misunderstanding of Matthew 22-21. Jesus is not setting forth a doctrine to keep God out of civil government there- he is simply demolishing the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and Herodians with their trick question about paying taxes to Rome.--The Constitution of the United States does not contain the expression, -A wall of separation between church and state.- Rather, it creates a wall between the Federal and state governments- -In matters of religion I have considered that its free exercise is placed by the Constitution independent of the powers of the General Government. I have therefore undertaken on no occasion to prescribe the religious exercises suited to it, but have left them, as the Constitution found them, under the direction and discipline of the church or state authorities acknowledged by the several religious societies.---That is in keeping with the Northwest Ordinance, passed by the U.S. Congress in 1787, the same year the Constitution was sent down for ratification by the states.

For Beyond 50's "History" talks, listen to an interview with Gerry and Janet Souter. They'll talk about a time after World War II when more than five million workers enlisted in labor strikes across America. The constant fear of Communist infiltration dominated the headlines. Displaced persons fleeing war-torn Europe poured into the country. Overseeing the chaos was a president nobody elected, coupled with a bitter, divisive Congress—mirroring the situation we find ourselves in today: in search of unity, civility and pride in our global example to the world. Then, in 1947, that “shot in the arm” arrived, a phenomenon called the “Freedom Train” to reignite citizens' faith in their country. They assembled 130 priceless ORIGINAL documents including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, The Mayflower Compact, The Northwest Ordinance, letters from Jefferson, Washington and Hamilton and the Emancipation Proclamation guarded by United States Marines. From 1947 through 1948, millions of citizens walked through this train and participated in the celebration of its arrival that helped revive America's spirit and self-confidence.

With special guest Dr. David Gary.  Rufus King is one of the most obscure of the also-rans, but he was an active part of countless key moments in early American political history: he fought in the Revolution, helped frame the U.S. Constitution, implemented the Jay Treaty, helped figure out the Northwest Ordinance, and was one of the first prominent anti-slavery American politicians. He was also the final presidential candidate fielded by the dying Federalist Party. With help from our guest, we'll explore how King's career mirrors the rise and fall of one of America's first political parties.

The history of race in America with Gary Davidson and America's movement toward a more perfect union. Davidson talks about the founding of the country, the Northwest Ordinance, the civil war and through to the era of Jim Crow and segregation.

Debunking Critical Race Theory in the Ohio Classroom Peter Kirsanow, Commissioner with the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, has stated that Critical Race Theory is destructive in the classroom and in the board room across America. Title VII clearly states there should be no discrimination based on race.  Last July, during the COVID shutdown, the Ohio State School Board rushed through a resolution to support Critical Race Theory in the Ohio classroom. Five members of the board voted against the resolution. One of the members voting NO was State School Board member John Hagan of the 8th District.  He explains how the resolution was rushed through and how parents of school children are rising up to challenge this new ridiculous destructive trend in the Ohio classroom.  Part 2  Encore presentation - Constitutional Studies Threatened Again in Ohio Schools Ohio's educational standards for American Government and American History are under threat again. This time, it's H.B. 73 that would limit the testing requirement and thereby eliminate the teaching requirement in the classroom of American Constitutional studies. One of the original sponsors of the Founding of America Documents Curriculum Bill is former State Rep. John Adams. He joins me on the program to talk about the triumph of the passage of the original bill that guaranteed every Ohio student from the 8th - 12th grade would learn the U.S. Constitution with an emphasis on The Bill of Rights, The Declaration of Independence, The Northwest Ordinance, and The Ohio Constitution. But, the liberal teachers' union has placed a target on this curriculum requirement, and they seek to replace it with critical race theory and other socialist philosophies. We're not going to let that happen on our watch. Tune in and tell a friend. Help us stop H.B. 73!  

In Episode 26 co-host Scott M. Graves leads a spirited discussion on our modern concept of property and how it plays into our current debate on income inequality. Why was equality in income important to our history?  The founders intended to design a society where a maximum number of people could acquire and maintain enough land to be self-sufficient. This was important to men like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Washington and John Adams because they mainly agreed on the premise that a population capable of a nominal amount of economic self-sufficiency would provide for stability in both economics and politics.  They further beleived this went hand in hand with a robust public education system. Want to learn more?  Listen to Dr. Joseph Blasi explain early founders thoughts on wealth. Well into the 19th century legislation like the Homestead Act, built upon the foundation laid by the Ordinance of 1787 or Northwest Ordinance paved the way for yet millions more to realize wealth generation through land ownership. But beginning in the mid-19th century leaders understood that land would run out; the west was being settled and the country was rapidly urbanizing. So began the idea that wealth building through land ownership would give in to wealth building through equity sharing, built through the labor of workers. Hence we walk through history to explain a modern justification for expanding employee-ownership in is many forms, a plan that we believe would lead to a more fair economy with a more stable and productive workforce.

Praying for the Peace of the CIty of Columbus With Pastor John Coats Our Capital City of Columbus has been a city under siege,  beset with conflict and problems this past year, with protests-turned-to-riots, community turmoil, and a skyrocketing crime rate. Pastor John Coats, Vice President of the NAACP of Columbus, and President of the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance, has called for emergency prayer for the City of Columbus and its communities. Tune in as we review the year that has been and discuss a way forward for the city that hosts our state government.    

Chicago isn't part of the Midwest. At least that is what Chicago Magazine author Edward McClelland is arguing in his new piece.

Dr. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz joins Francesca Maximé to talk about her work as a scholar and activist, the history of settler colonialism, and the cult of the Constitution. Dr. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has been active in the international Indigenous movement for more than four decades and is known for her lifelong commitment to national and international social justice issues. Her 1977 book, The Great Sioux Nation, was the fundamental document at the first international conference on Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Dr. Dunbar-Ortiz is the author or editor of seven other books, including An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States. Learn more at reddirtsite.com. An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States Francesca welcomes Dr. Dunbar-Ortiz to ReRooted, and asks what prompted her to write the book, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States. Dr. Dunbar-Ortiz talks about her study of the indigenous people of New Mexico, and how she was called as a witness at the trial of the Lakota people involved in the Wounded Knee Occupation. “I think this book is in many ways a culmination of all the work I’ve done in the last 50 years – the scholarly work and the activist work.” – Dr. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz Settler Colonialism (18:27) Francesca and Dr. Dunbar-Ortiz discuss the concept of settler colonialism, what it means, and its lasting repercussions. Dr. Dunbar-Ortiz talks about the indigenous peoples’ relationship with the land and how it differed from that of the settlers, and explores the consequences of the Northwest Ordinance of 1887. “Really, the United States was founded as a corporation, as a capitalist state. And land was the capital, land sales was the capital.” – Dr. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz Jacqueline Battalora joins Francesca Maximé for a conversation about the foundation of America’s institutionalized racism on ReRooted Ep. 39 The Cult of the Constitution (41:47) Francesca and Dr. Dunbar-Ortiz talk about the parallels between chattel slavery and settler colonialism, and the traumas of slavery and colonialism that continue to affect the people of the United States to this day. Dr. Dunbar-Ortiz ends by exploring how America’s revered ‘Founding Fathers’ were far from perfect, and how we have a cult of the Constitution. “We have to deprogram our cultish connection to the Constitution and to the so-called founders who designed this horrible system that we have propagated.” – Dr. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roxanne_Dunbar-Ortiz

The Articles of Confederation were flawed and in need of a massive rewrite, however support for such an idea was severely lacking. In the newly established country's mind, the tacit partnership agreement found within the articles was the perfect balance of sovereignty and unity. So how did fifty-five delegates manage to get together in Philadelphia over the summer of 1787 and create a brand new document? Tune in this week as I discuss the run up to the Constitutional Convention and some of the key players who would play a pivotal role in the creation of the United States Constitution.

For more Ohio love, be sure to check out the Statesmen episodes on the Buckeye state (https://statesmen.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=ohio)(Source: Wikipedia - Ohio)Ohio is a state in the East North Central region of the Midwestern United States. Of the fifty states, it is the 34th largest by area, the seventh most populous, and the tenth most densely populated. The state's capital and largest city is Columbus with the Columbus metro area, Greater Cincinnati, and Greater Cleveland being the largest metropolitan areas. Ohio is bordered by Lake Erie to the north, Pennsylvania to the east, West Virginia to the southeast, Kentucky to the southwest, Indiana to the west, and Michigan to the northwest. The state takes its name from the Ohio River, whose name in turn originated from the Seneca word ohiːyo', meaning "good river", "great river" or "large creek". Partitioned from the Northwest Territory, Ohio was the 17th state admitted to the Union on March 1, 1803, and the first under the Northwest Ordinance. Ohio is historically known as the "Buckeye State" after its Ohio buckeye trees, and Ohioans are also known as "Buckeyes". This Week's Thanks:Kevin - @RuthInComedy (Twitter and Instagram)Spencer - @whoisspencer (Twitter) / @theotherspencer (Instagram) / old_hands (SoundCloud)GeekOut - @GeekOutGeekOut ((Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook) Thanks to Visager for our theme song “Welcome Player.” You can find more of their music at visager.us.

Most every day includes a link to information about what happened on that day, mostly drawn from Madison's Debates, the most comprehensive and accurate record of the Convention. As you watch the video for each session, take notes on Dr. Lloyd's insights about the Convention, the contributions of different delegates, topics discussed, and decisions made.

Plan of government set up by the Articles of Confederation.   Many Americans did not trust a strong central government because they were scared that our government would become a monarchist government. Colonists had fought a war in order to achieve their independence from the British government. Therefore, the Articles of Confederation were drafted in order to ensure that a strong central government would not be a problem. The Articles of confederation were a set of standards through which our country will go by. Why did the Articles of confederation fail? A reason why the Articles of confederation failed was because it concentrated mostly on what the people wanted and not what the country needed. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was important because?   The Northwest Ordinance was important to the United States’ history because it provided a process for admission of new states to the Union. Shay’s Rebellion, which was led by Daniel Shay, was a protest over direct taxes and other economic and political problems faced by farmers of Western Massachusetts, which was another good outcome. Shay’s Rebellion demonstrated how the lack of a strong central government could result in using of the poor and ultimately in a rebellion. It also showed why a strong central government was necessary in order to have a stable promising country.
