The Civic Constitution

Civic Visions and Struggles in the Path toward Constitutional Democracy

By: Elizabeth Beaumont

The role of the Constitution in American political history is contentious not simply because of battles over meaning. Equally important is precisely who participated in contests over meaning. Was it simply judges, or did legislatures have a strong say? And what about the public's role in effecting constitutional change? In The Civic Constitution, Elizabeth Beaumont focuses on the last category, and traces the efforts of citizens to reinvent constitutional democracy during four crucial eras: the revolutionaries of the 1770s and 1780s; the civic founders of state republics and the national Constitution in the early national period; abolitionists during the antebellum and Civil War eras; and, finally, suffragists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Throughout, she argues that these groups should be recognized as founders and co-founders of the U.S. Constitution. Though often slighted in modern constitutional debates, these women and men developed distinctive constitutional creeds and practices, challenged existing laws and social norms, expanded the boundaries of citizenship, and sought to translate promises of liberty, equality, and justice into more robust and concrete forms. Their civic ideals and struggles not only shaped the text, design, and public meaning of the U.S. Constitution, but reconstructed its membership and transformed the fundamental commitments of the American political community. An innovative expansion on the concept of popular constitutionalism, The Civic Constitution is a vital contribution to the growing body of literature on how ordinary people have shaped the parameters of America's fundamental laws.

Beyond the Wall

Germany's Road to Unification

By: Elizabeth Pond

Beyond the Wall is the first book, in either English or German, to tell the whole story of the extraordinary revolution that demolished the Berlin Wall, ended the Cold war, and tore apart the Soviet regime. Elizabeth Pond, former Moscow and European correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, was an eyewitness to the dramatic events of 1989-92 and to the fifteen years of relations between Germany and Eastern Europe leading up to them. Pond weaves together in riveting prose the strands of events that are usually recounted separately. Rather than looking just at the East German revolt or the process of unification that created a new nation, she traces the interaction of these events and their diplomatic consequences for Europe. Pond shows the political, economic, and social forces at work--leading up to the unification, during the transition process, and in the aftermath. Looking at the European framework, she explains how significantly the European Community and its move toward integration both affected and were affected by German unification. The book contains a wealth of new information form hundreds of interviews with top German and American policymakers, East German Politburo members and average German citizens. It also incorporates up-to-date research on such topics as the Stasi secret police and the midlife crisis of the German left. Pond concludes with an assessment of the roles of the United States and a unified Germany in the new Europe. Calling for a continued partnership between the United States and Germany, who "have come through a common baptism of fire since the fall of the Berlin Wall," Pond casts an optimistic eye toward the future.

Weapons of Mass Deception

How Billionaires Plan to Destroy Our Public Schools and What You Can Do to Stop Them

By: David Spring, M.ed.,David Spring M Ed,Elizabeth Hanson, M.ed.,Elizabeth Hanson M Ed

All parents and teachers should read this book. For more than a century, Americans have been the most productive workers in the world. Because of our many innovations, our economy has been among the strongest economies. We have always embraced freedom - the freedom to develop our unique talents and the freedom to allow students to grow and learn in different ways. At the heart of our American way of life has been our public schools - which have consistently produced the most highly trained and creative people in the world. Today there is a small group of extremely wealthy people trying to take over our public schools. The death of our schools would not only mean the death of our economy, but the death of our democracy. We are in a battle that many folks don't even know we are fighting. Yet more and more teachers, parents, and students are waking up to the fact that billionaires are using weapons of mass deception to wage a war against our children. Our mission is to arm you with tools and information on how to fight back! We answer important questions including: What is Common Core, who created it - and what is its real purpose? Why have billionaires paid millions of dollars to bribe politicians to change our education laws from local control to federal blackmail? Why have they paid millions more to create unfair and confusing high stakes tests,"designed to fail" most of the kids who take them? Why are First Graders being required to read & analyze complex texts? Why are Second Graders being taught math that is so confusing even experienced engineers can't do it? Why are teachers with years of experience being fired - and replaced with poorly paid recent college graduates who have almost no training at all? Why are successful public schools being closed - and replaced with failing for-profit schools run by Wall Street speculators? Learn while there is still time to save our schools and our democracy. Learn about the plot to destroy our schools... And what you can do to protect your kids!
