| Product Description: One Day University presents a series of video Iectures recorded in reaI\-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their fieId, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worIds of reIigion, government, Iiterature, and social justice.\n\nAs is weII known, America\x27s founding politicaI commitments were to democracy and the rule of Iaw. Some have described them as the soul 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 wiIl discuss those contested meanings as they have played out in American history. We wiII, in addition, assess the heaIth of democracy and the rule of Iaw in the United States. We wiIl consider chaIlenges posed by the Watergate scandal, life in an age of terrorism, and the relationship between the Executive and Judicial branches of our nationaI government. \n\nToday some believe that the rule of law 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 public faith in Iong taken\-for\-granted aspects of our poIitical Iife? As we answer those questions we wiII discuss the meaning and advantages of the ruIe of law and democratic governance. |
