No Place Like Rome (Part Three)

Today On Categorical Imperatives we complete our exploration of the massive influence the Roman Republic had on our Republic’s Constitution and System of government.
In Part 1 we looked at the way this Roman Republican influence manifested in the Founders individually.
In Part 2 we looked at the Enlightenment era rediscovery and reinterpretation of the Ancient Roman Republic and the resulting political philosophy of classical republicanism and we examine the way it influenced different groups of people during the founding and especially those who wrote and ratified the US Constitution.
In this 3rd and final video we look at the ways that the enlightenment era classical republican tradition differed from the Greco-Roman Republics of antiquity and we examine how those Ancient Republics themselves influence the creation of our constitution, and or mixed government. And we explore the origins of the concepts of virtue and liberty as they were understood at the time of the founding, how they are understood today and how they relate to similar, but distinct concepts in the Ancient Roman philosophy of people like Cicero and Tacitus as the concepts of ‘Virtus’ and ‘Libertas’

No Place Like Rome (Part Two)

In Part 1 we looked at the way this influence manifested in the Founders individually
Today we look at the Enlightenment era rediscovery and reinterpretation of the Ancient Roman Republic and the resulting political philosophy of classical republicanism and we examine the way it influenced different groups of people during the founding and especially those who wrote and ratified the US Constitution and what influence the Roman Republic had on our very system of government embodied in the Constitution

People Are Corporations – An Open Letter To Citizens United Haters

Today On Categorical Imperatives we will be discussing the Supreme Court case every leftist loves to hate: Citizens United v Federal Election Commission (2010)
In my last video I briefed 3 landmark Supreme Court cases dealing with issues of money and speech, including Citizens United. Today I want to go further in exploring this case and it’s legacy.

My previous video was part of my “Today in Supreme Court History” Series which means what you got was a purely objective and scholarly explanation of those cases in their background, the facts of the case, the primary holding and the precedent they set.
Today’s video is meant to be an open letter of sorts to people who think citizens united is a case that ruled corporations are people and money is speech.
