To celebrate the return of Magna Carta to the National Archives, we present a discussion on its connection to the American Constitution including its place in the charters of the American colonies, its impact on the era of the Founding Fathers, and its legacy in the context of world constitutionalism. A. E. Dick Howard, professor of law, University of Virginia, will set the stage and moderate a panel including David M. Rubenstein, co-founder of The Carlyle Group, Peter Onuf, BackStory Radio's “18th Century Guy,” and professor of history, University of Virginia; Renée Lettow Lerner, associate professor of law, the George Washington University; and Zachary Elkins, associate professor of government, University of Texas at Austin.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
