On a Sunday afternoon, the box was opened and a cascade of history tumbled out. The box came from the Franzen family of Scituate and New Hampshire. The materials included ran a gamut from 1840 to 1945. Photographs, letters, portraits, lithographs, and a one of a kind medal were included. See the photos below for a hint at this amazing donation. We can not be more grateful. The Coast Guard of a bygone day An extremely rare medal given to each Scituate sol- dier or sailor who returned from World War 1. This is believed to be William Franzen during the First World War.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Constitutionalism and the Foundations of the Security State Aziz Rana Scholars often argue that the culture of American constitutionalism provides an important constraint on aggressive national security practices. This Article challenges the conventional account by highlighting instead how modern constitutional reverence emerged in tandem with the national security state, critically functioning to reinforce and legitimize government power rather than primarily to place limits on it. This unacknowledged security origin of today’s constitutional climate speaks to a profound ambiguity in the type of public culture ultimately promoted by the Constitution. Scholars are clearly right to note that constitutional loyalty has created political space for arguments more respectful of civil rights and civil liberties, making the very worst excesses of the past less likely. At the same time, however, public discussion about protecting the Constitution—and a distinctively American way of life—has also served as a key justification for strengthening the government’s security infrastructure over the long run.
