The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus MCDONALD ET AL. v. CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT No. 08–1521. Argued March 2, 2010—Decided June 28, 2010 Two years ago, in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. ___, this Court held that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense and struck down a Dis- trict of Columbia law that banned the possession of handguns in the home. Chicago (hereinafter City) and the village of Oak Park, a Chi- cago suburb, have laws effectively banning handgun possession by almost all private citizens. After Heller, petitioners filed this federal suit against the City, which was consolidated with two related ac- tions, alleging that the City’s handgun ban has left them vulnerable to criminals. They sought a declaration that the ban and several re- lated City ordinances violate the Second and Fourteenth Amend- ments. Rejecting petitioners’ argument that the ordinances are un- constitutional, the court noted that the Seventh Circuit previously had upheld the constitutionality of a handgun ban, that Heller had explicitly refrained from opining on whether the Second Amendment applied to the States, and that the court had a duty to follow estab- lished Circuit precedent.

  • Philadelphia and the Agitation in 1825 for The
    PHILADELPHIA AND THE AGITATION IN 1825 FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA CANAL Y THE close of the year 1824 the State of New York had pro- moted so successfully its chief internal improvement project, B the Erie Canal, as to feel the economic effects. She was rapidly tapping the commercial resources of the "new west"; trading was brisk; land values were increased; the influx of immigrants was add- ing to her population, giving rise to towns, and gaining for her even greater potential economic strength. "Clinton's ditch" was already the economic life-line of the Empire State, and it offered a challenge to sister states. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was the first to accept the challenge. Her thoughtful and foresighted citizens were aroused to action. Particularly were the merchants, traders, bankers, and the foremost residents of Philadelphia concerned with the jolt given to their economic bid for Eastern seaboard supremacy. They not only watched with envy the commercial rise of New York as the emporium of western trade but feared equally as much that Penn- sylvania, unless she acted in a like manner, was certain to lose all hope of getting a share of the increasingly lucrative transappalachian trade, or indeed, that she would not be able even to retain what was left of her economic prestige in the Union. It was not surprising, therefore, that during 1825 there was car- ried on in the Commonwealth an extensive and unceasing campaign in favor of internal improvements. It was only natural, too, that the public-spirited residents of Philadelphia should assume the lead, ably assisted by one small but influential group, "The Pennsylvania Society for the Promotion of Internal Improvements in the Common- wealth,"1 organized in the fall of 1824.

    HANDCRAFT TO INDUSTRY Philadelphia Ceramics in the First Half of the Nineteenth Century Susan H. Myers SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS SMITHSONIAN STUDIES IN HISTORY AND TECHNOLOGY • NUMBER 43 HANDCRAFT TO INDUSTRY Philadelphia Ceramics in the First Half of the Nineteenth Century Susan H. Myers SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1980 ABSTRACT Myers, Susan H. Handcraft to Industry: Philadelphia Ceramics in the First Half of the Nineteenth Century. Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology, number 43, 117 pages, 32 figures, 1980.—Early in the nineteenth century, Phila­ delphia potters, like many American craftsmen, began to feel the effects of nascent industrial and economic change that would transform small traditional hand­ crafts into industries. Economic historians long have debated about the rate at which expansion took place during the first half of the century. In the Philadel­ phia potteries, the beginnings of industrialization were evident in developments before and during the War of 1812 when embargoes provided temporary relief from the competition of English factory-made tableware and permitted American craftsmen briefly to emulate this mass-produced molded pottery. The crisis of 1819, however, and the economic fluctuations of the 1830s kept progress at a slow pace, though the depressions of the 1830s actually made an important, if negative, contribution by forcing out several of the city's traditional potteries and a substantial part of its handcraft labor force. In the 1840s, the environ­ ment finally was conducive to the exploitation of the growing potential for expansion and thus the decade witnessed unprecedented economic and industrial growth. Capitalization and output more than doubled; molded tableware, pat­ terned after Enghsh styles, finally was successfully manufactured and marketed; new and more industrial products and techniques were introduced; several small potteries developed into factories of moderate size; and a semiskilled labor force threatened its traditional highly skilled counterpart.

  • Black Nativism: African American Politics, Nationalism and Citizenship in Baltimore and Philadelphia, 1817 to 1863
    BLACK NATIVISM: AFRICAN AMERICAN POLITICS, NATIONALISM AND CITIZENSHIP IN BALTIMORE AND PHILADELPHIA, 1817 TO 1863 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Andrew Keith Diemer May, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Elizabeth R. Varon, Chair, University of Virginia, History Andrew C. Isenberg, Temple University, History David Waldstreicher, Temple University, History Richard S. Newman, Rochester Institute of Technology, History © by Andrew Keith Diemer 2011 All Rights Reserved ii Abstract This dissertation is a study of free African American politics, in the cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia, between 1817 and 1863. At the heart of this black politics were efforts to assert the right of free African Americans to citizenship in their native United States. Claims on the ambiguous notion of citizenship were important to free blacks both as a means of improving their own lives and as a way to combat slavery. The dissertation begins with the organized black protest against the founding of the American Colonization Society. The contest over the notion, advanced by the ACS, that free blacks were not truly American, or that they could not ever be citizens in the land of their birth, powerfully shaped the language and tactics of black politics. The dissertation ends with the enlistment of black troops in the Civil War, a development which powerfully shaped subsequent arguments for full black citizenship. It argues that in this period, free African Americans developed a rhetorical language of black nativism, the assertion that birth on American soil and the contribution of one’s ancestors to the American nation, had won for African Americans the right to be citizens of the United States.
