Many today think of the
Supreme Court as the final authority on the Constitution. This was not the
intention of those who wrote it. All three branches were to be responsible
for upholding the Constitution, and the ultimate responsibility was to lie in
the hands of those who established it – “We the People.”
If we are to do our duty as a people, we need to understand
how our Constitution has been undermined and how the judicial branch of
government has played a role in that. To this purpose, I invite you to enroll
in Hillsdale College’s new free online course, “The
U.S. Supreme Court.”
This course will look at several of the most important cases
in the Court’s history—cases that have had a dramatic effect on our politics
and our society today. We will also look at the intended role of the Supreme
Court, how that role has changed, and the ways in which that change has
undermined our Constitution and our freedom.
I will deliver two of the course’s ten lectures, and the
others by my colleagues on Hillsdale’s faculty. We will also have Q&A
sessions after each lecture. The
first lecture was released today—so you can start your
course now.
Again, there is no cost to take the course and you can watch
the lectures at your leisure.
Warm regards,
Larry P. Arnn
