  • Criminal Disenfranchisement and the Reconstruction Amendments

    Criminal Disenfranchisement and the Reconstruction Amendments

    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL RICHARD M. RE & CHRISTOPHER M. RE Voting and Vice: Criminal Disenfranchisement and the Reconstruction Amendments A BST RAC T. The Reconstruction Amendments are justly celebrated for transforming millions of recent slaves into voting citizens. Yet this legacy of egalitarian enfranchisement had a flip side. In arguing that voting laws should not discriminate on the basis of morally insignificant statuses, such as race, supporters of the Reconstruction Amendments emphasized the legitimacy of retributive disenfranchisement as a punishment for immoral actions, such as crimes. Former slaves were not just compared with virtuous military veterans, as commentators have long observed, but were also contrasted with immoral criminals. The mutually supportive relationship between egalitarian enfranchisement and punitive disenfranchisement -between voting and vice - motivated and shaped all three Reconstruction Amendments. Counterintuitively, the constitutional entrenchment of criminal disenfranchisement facilitated the enfranchisement of black Americans. This conclusion complicates the conventional understanding of how and why voting rights expanded in the Reconstruction era. Criminal disenfranchisement's previously overlooked constitutional history illuminates four contemporary legal debates. First, the connection between voting and vice provides new support for the Supreme Court's thoroughly criticized holding that the Constitution endorses criminal disenfranchisement. Second, Reconstruction history suggests that the Constitution's

More recent assessments have persuasively rejected this view, observing that the Court as a whole and the justices individually voted to uphold many more instances of government regulation of the economy than they voted to invalidate, and that the closest thing to a Social Darwinist that the Court had to offer was Justice Holmes, on whose polemical dissent in Lochner the conventional wisdom had been based. Since the 1970s, revisionist scholars have come instead to see these doctrines as expressions of what Professor Howard Gillman has called a “principle of neutrality.” That master principle was grounded in such antebellum ideological concerns as the aversion to factional politics and the Jacksonian revulsion against special privilege, and was best understood as prohibiting what was at the time called “class legislation” or “special legislation” or “partial legislation” – legislation that could not be deemed public-regarding because it singled out particular groups for unjustified special benefits or burdens.

Under pressure from President Abraham Lincoln to attack Confederate troops near Washington D. C. and fight the one big battle that most Northerners thought would end the Southern rebellion, McDowell had 34,000 troops, most of them poorly trained ninety-day volunteers, struggling through the muggy Virginia heat toward a creek known as Bull Run. McDowell's plan to attack General l?.G.T. Beauregard's 25,000 rebels was a sound one, he thought, but it involved feints and flank attacks, and he wondered if his green troops and commanders were up to it. They had already taken four days to march little more than twenty miles, supplies stretched along the line of march, and the unseasoned soldiers were exhausted before they had even fired a shot. Worse yet, with the enemy now nearby, two artillery batteries were lost. With no aide-de-camp at hand to find them, the beleaguered McDowell rode off to do it himself.
  • A History of the Rochester City Club by BLAKE MCKELVEY

    A History of the Rochester City Club by BLAKE MCKELVEY

    Edited by DEXTER PERKINS, City Historian and BLAKE MCKELVEY, As&ant City Historian Vol. IX. October, 1947 A History of the Rochester City Club by BLAKE MCKELVEY The City Club’s more significant contributions were written in the minds and hearts of the countless thousands who heard or participated in its forums. No historian can fathom such sources, yet we may learn much from the records kept by conscientious officers and from the press notices preserved in bulging scrapbooks. A voluminous correspond- ence file and the recollections of old and long-faithful members* have helped to recreate the drama hidden behind the formal records, thus giving life to at least some of the more memorable sessions. From, these varied sources emerges the story of a noteworthy venture in adult education, in democratic citizenship-a continuing institution still vibrantly alive in its 39th year. We can of course detect some of the Club’s influence in Rochester’s sturdy tradition of free discussion, in the community’s broad-minded approach to many public questions (particularly those of an international scope), and in the tolerant spirit so characteristic of the relations between many segments of the population. The City Club has not been the only builder of present-day Rochester, nor has its influence been equally significant over the years. There have been shifts in its emphasis, critical periods in its career. A study of the affairs of such a representative institution as the City Club, an appraisal of the issues raised and of the programs developed, will throw much light on the city’s history during the last four decades.
