  • Butterfly Effects: the Possibilities of Law Teaching in a Democracy*
    Duke Law Journal VOLUME 41 FEBRUARY 1992 NUMBER 4 BUTTERFLY EFFECTS: THE POSSIBILITIES OF LAW TEACHING IN A DEMOCRACY* PAUL D. CARRINGTON** INTRODUCTION New legal institutions are being formed at an astonishing pace in 1992. From Cambodia to Croatia, from Pretoria to Bogota, in the for- mer territory of the Soviet Union, and the federation taking shape in western Europe, the work of constructing new polities proceeds apace. It would be far too much to say that all of these developments are proceeding along the lines of our American model; others, of course, think for themselves. Yet it is clear that many of the ideas embraced by Americans in the late eighteenth century are finding favor with many, perhaps most, of the plentiful founders of 1992. Political accountability of the governors to the governed and government limited by law seem, for example, to be generally accepted premises of contemporary govern- mental reform. The tradition of American law teaching had its origins in precisely these premises. It seems not unlikely, therefore, that the subject of legal education will reach the agendas of today's founders as well. This Arti- cle is therefore written to assist the thinking of those in distant places who may in 1992 or soon thereafter consider the possible role of law teaching as a foundation of restrained democratic government. * Some of this Article appears in a shorter piece prepared especially for English readers. See Paul D. Carrington, Aftermath, in ESSAYS FOR PATRICK ATIYAH 113 (1991). ** Chadwick Professor of Law, Duke University. The author is grateful for comments on earlier drafts by Francis Allen, Barbara Babcock, David Barnhizer, George Christie, John Frank, Walter Gellhorn, Martin Golding, Erwin Griswold, Stanley Hauerwas, Wythe Holt, Kenneth Karst, Richard Maxwell, Jeffrey O'Connell, Jefferson Powell, Thomas Rowe, Theodore St.

The time-frame has been selected for two reasons: (1) actresses active after 1870 have been the subject of several dissertations and scholarly studies, while relatively little research has been completed on women active on the American stage prior to 1870, and (2) prior to 1850 there was limited theatre activity in this country and very few professional actresses. A general description of mid-nineteenth-century theatre and its social context is provided, including a summary of major developments in theatre in New York and other cities from 1850 to 1870, discussions of the star system, the combination company, and the mid-century audience.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. —19th Amendment to the United States Constitution In 1920, after decades of tireless activism by countless determined suffragists, American women were finally guaranteed the right to vote. The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. It was ratified by the states on August 18, 1920 and certified as an amendment to the US Constitution on August 26, 1920. Developed in partnership with the National Park Service, this publication weaves together multiple stories about the quest for women’s suffrage across the country, including those who opposed it, the role of allies and other civil rights movements, who was left behind, and how the battle differed in communities across the United States. Explore the complex history and pivotal moments that led to ratification of the 19th Amendment as well as the places where that history happened and its continued impact today. 0-31857-0 Cover Barcode-Arial.pdf 1 2/17/20 1:58 PM $14.95 ISBN 978-1-68184-267-7 51495 9 781681 842677 The National Park Service is a bureau within the Department Front cover: League of Women Voters poster, 1920. of the Interior.

Truth Mott Wells “Because we must tell and retell, learn and relearn, these women’s stories, and we must make it our personal mission, in our everyday lives, to pass these stories on to our daughters and sons. Because we cannot—we must not—ever forget that the rights and opportunities we enjoy as women today were not just bestowed upon us by some benevolent ruler. They were fought for, agonized over, marched for, jailed for and even died for by brave and persistent women and men who came before us.... That is one of the great joys and beauties of the American experiment. We are always striving to build and move toward a more perfect union, that we on every occasion keep faith with our founding ideas and translate them into reality.” Hillary Rodham Clinton On the occasion of the 150th Anniversary of the First Women’s Rights Convention Seneca Falls, NY July 16, 1998 Celebrating Women’s History Recommendations to President William Jefferson Clinton from the President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History Commission Co-Chairs: Ann Lewis and Beth Newburger Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B.
