  • The Role of Internal Politics in American Diplomacy
    For a Dollar and a Dream: State Lotteries and American Inequality Jonathan D. Cohen Newton, Massachusetts BA, McGill University, 2013 MA, University of Virginia, 2015 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia March, 2019 © Copyright by Jonathan D. Cohen All rights reserved March 2019 ABSTRACT Americans are obsessed with playing the lottery in pursuit of life-changing jackpots. Every year, Americans spend over $80 billion on lottery tickets, more than they spend on books, sports tickets, video games, music, and movie tickets combined. “For a Dollar and a Dream” illustrates the parallels between lottery players and the political actors who facilitated the spread of legalized gambling in the United States. In an era of declining social mobility and rising inequality, millions of bettors turned to lotteries driven by the hopeful, wishful belief that gambling could solve their financial problems. Similarly, between 1963 and 2013, 44 states enacted lotteries because lotteries appeared to offer something for nothing, a painless solution to the pressing political and financial problems that beset state governments in the post-World War II period. Voters and legislators refused to confront the conflict between their demands for tax breaks and their desire for government services, and they turned instead to gambling, hoping for a budgetary miracle. “For a Dollar and a Dream” illustrates that the magical thinking frequently condemned among lottery players represented a fundamental feature of many citizens’ relationship with government in the late twentieth century.

    KARCHER v. DAGGETT Syllabus KARCHER, SPEAKER, NEW JERSEY ASSEMBLY, ET AL. v. DAGGETT ET AL. APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY No. 81-2057. Argued March 2, 1983--Decided June 22, 1983 As a result of the 1980 census, the New Jersey Legislature reapportioned the State's congressional districts. The reapportionment plan contained 14 districts, with an average population per district of 526,059, each dis- trict, on the average, differing from the "ideal" figure by 0.1384%. The largest district (Fourth District) had a population of 527,472, and the smallest (Sixth District) had a population of 523,798, the difference be- tween them being 0.6984% of the average district. In a suit by a group of individuals challenging the plan's validity, the District Court held that the plan violated Art. I, § 2, of the Constitution because the population deviations among districts, although small, were not the result of a good- faith effort to achieve population equality. Held: 1. The "equal representation" standard of Art. I, § 2, requires that congressional districts be apportioned to achieve population equality as nearly as is practicable. Parties challenging apportionment legislation bear the burden of proving that population differences among districts could have been reduced or eliminated by a good-faith effort to draw districts of equal population. If the plaintiffs carry their burden, the State must then bear the burden of proving that each significant vari- ance between districts was necessary to achieve some legitimate goal. Cf. Kirkpatrick v. Preisler, 894 U. S. 526; White v.
