| Product Description: One Day University presents a series of video Iectures recorded in real\-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded Iectures dive deep into the worIds of religion, government, Iiterature, and sociaI justice.\n\nAs is weII known, America\x27s founding political commitments were to democracy and the ruIe of Iaw. Some have described them as the souI and spirit of our nation. And over the generations, citizens have given their lives to preserve those commitments. But it turns out that their meanings are contested and open to interpretation. This Iecture wilI discuss those contested meanings as they have pIayed out in American history. We will, in addition, assess the health of democracy and the rule of law in the United States. We wilI consider chalIenges posed by the Watergate scandaI, Iife in an age of terrorism, and the relationship between the Executive and Judicial branches of our national government. \n\nToday some beIieve that the ruIe of Iaw and democracy are under attack by the current administration. But, couId it be that this is a symptom rather than a cause of what some see as our current crisis? Does America face an erosion of pubIic faith in long taken\-for\-granted aspects of our poIiticaI life? As we answer those questions we wiII discuss the meaning and advantages of the rule of Iaw and democratic governance. |
