What of Frederick Douglass's transformation in his views of the Constitution? 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 welcomes guest @RebeiroBradley, @BYULaw professor, for 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝟰, 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟭𝟮. Listen, bit.ly/4dLYuKY, or watch, bit.ly/3BTJ5e7, as he and host @ProfBrogdon explore Douglass’s 1852 “Change of Opinion Announced,” his break with Garrisonians, and his argument that the Constitution was anti-slavery in principle but betrayed in administration. That conviction drove his push for Black enlistment and his focus on suffrage as the hallmark of citizenship. #podcast

The AI & the Future of Freedom conference, held Oct. 21–22 at @UVU and co-sponsored by @CCSUVU just wrapped. Sessions featured discussion among public officials, scholars, and industry leaders on how the country navigates the changes AI is already producing, covering topics from government transparency and journalism to education, energy, and the protection of individual rights. "This conference gave UVU a chance to be part of one of the most consequential conversations of our time," said Scott Paul, @CCSUVU executive director." By bringing together the people shaping AI alongside the people shaping policy, UVU helped move that conversation from theory to action."

Women in colonial America were legally invisible. Married women could not own property, vote, serve on juries, or speak publicly on politics. Yet the American Revolution was a watershed, inviting women into political life as boycotters, writers, and even voters.

How did 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 (1818–1895), a fugitive slave, become one of the nation’s most radical constitutional thinkers? And why did he ultimately reject the Garrisonian view of the #Constitution as a “covenant with death” and come to see it as anti-slavery? In Season 4, Episode 12, of 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, guest @RebeiroBradley, of @BYULaw, and host @ProfBrogdon discuss Douglass's evolving view of the #DeclarationOfIndependence and Constitution, as outlined in Rebeiro's new book, 𝙐𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙔𝙤𝙠𝙚 𝙄𝙨 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙑𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨.

"State constitutions are easier to amend than their federal counterpart [and] are more responsive to local interests . . . . The federal Constitution does not list all rights to which we are entitled. It merely provides the baseline," wrote @CCSUVU's @laurenjarnach in a Sept. 28 @Deseret opinion published on the 250th anniversary of Pennsylvania's original state constitution. "State constitutions are battlegrounds over the meaning and extent of individual rights. It is up to us, at the local level, to identify, articulate and protect the rights we consider fundamental" she continued.

“If George Washington had said, ‘Officers, I’m with you. I will lead you. We are marching on Congress,’ he could have done it. He could have made himself king in this moment.” That is how @ProfGregJackson described Washington's leadership and restraint as commander in chief of the Continental Army and which he later showed as president of the United States.
