| 00:00:03 | THANK YOU, PROFESSOR AMAR, FOR THAT ENGAGING, ENTERTAINING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING INSIGHT INTO THE FRAMING GENERATION, INTO OUR JACKSONIAN CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:00:19 | WE HAVE TIME FOR A HANDFUL OF QUESTIONS. |
| 00:00:21 | THERE'S AN OPEN MICROPHONE SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE TO YOU COME UP. |
| 00:00:23 | LET ME EXERCISE THE MODERATOR'S PREROGATIVE AND ASK THE FIRST QUESTION. |
| 00:00:28 | I WOULD LIKE TO TURN THE HISTORICAL LENS AROUND AND ASK YOU TO IMAGINE, IF YOU WILL, WHAT THE FRAMING GENERATION AS WELL AS WHAT THE JACKSONIAN GENERATION MIGHT THINK IF THEY LOOK THROUGH THAT HISTORICAL LENS AT US AND AT THE CONSTITUTION WE HAVE TODAY INCLUDING ALL THE POST-CIVIL WAR AMENDMENTS, BANNING SLAVERY, GUARANTEEING EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW, MUCH LATER GIVING WOMEN THE RIGHT TO VOTE AS WELL AS BROWN VS. |
| 00:00:54 | BOARD OF EDUCATION, POST-1937 THAT GAVE AN EXPANSIVE AUTHORITY FOR CONGRESS TO REGULATE THE ECONOMY AND MANY ASPECTS OF OUR DAILY LIVES. |
| 00:01:05 | THE ONE PERSON ONE VOTE PRINCIPLE AS WELL AS PERHAPS MORE MODERN AND CONTROVERSIAL DECISIONS LIKE CITIZENS UNITED. |
| 00:01:11 | WHAT WOULD THE FRAMING OF THE JACKSONIAN GENERATION THINK OF THE CONSTITUTION THAT WE HAVE TODAY AND SHOULD THEIR REACTIONS MATTER TO US? |
| 00:01:20 | >> WONDERFUL QUESTION. |
| 00:01:22 | YOU'RE HEARING FROM PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES, TRAINED HISTORIANS OFTEN HESITATE TO ANSWER PRESENTIST QUESTIONS, WHAT WOULD A HISTORICAL FIGURE THINK ABOUT TODAY. |
| 00:01:36 | THEY OFTEN EMPHASIZE THE PASTNESS OF THE PAST. |
| 00:01:40 | LAWYERS USE HISTORY. |
