Episode 18 | The Constitution of 1789
In this special episode, our host gives a lecture at Stanford Law School on his new book, The Constitution of 1789: A New Introduction. What caused the American Revolution? Why did we write down our constitutions? What the nature of the American Union? Of executive power? And -- a topic near and dear to the listeners of Rationally BASED -- what is judicial power? Does the Constitution contemplate judicial review? Does that mean the Supreme Court has final say over all constitutional questions? And what was the Constitution's relationship to slavery?
