Champions of Law & Integrity: The Antebellum States' Rights Principle
BLSA, ACS, and MLSA welcome you to join us and Professor Zamir Ben-Dan in Part 2 of his series for Champions of Law & Integrity, where we contextualize federalism and its implications on freedom and equality throughout American history. We'll learn how the "states' rights" platform was a constitutional euphemism for a state right to racially enslave and subjugate, exposing inherent contradictions within 19th-century legal theory and highlighting important features that continue to inform modern judicial power and civil rights litigation. Shawarma will be served, with a vegan falafel option available.
