Description
Why did the framers reject the Anti-Federalists reliance on religion and civic virtue, instead of creating a government built very much, architectonically as it were, on structure as a way of perpetuating and protecting federalism? In this lecture, Rossum explores the framers' reliance on constitutional structure to protect liberty and how the grand structure of federalism eroded as a viable constitutional principle.
