INTRODUCTION We often associate violence with extra-legal behavior1 or with the dark side of law enforcement.2 But violence has also played a pivotal role in our nation’s history and in the development of constitutional law. Simply put, our government has often resorted to acts of “constitutional violence”3 to effectuate major constitutional change. Consider the stain of slavery. From a practical perspective, it was not the formal enactment of the Thirteenth Amendment that eradicated this peculiar institution. Rather, it was the blood spilled in such costly battles as Bull Run, Chickamauga, and Gettysburg that settled the festering constitutional question of slavery once and for all.4 The same logic applies to school desegregation and the Little Rock Crisis of 1957.

  • XV CLUB PAPERS 4.25 Linear Ft
    UALR.0134 B-44 XV CLUB PAPERS 4.25 linear ft. 1904-present. Donated. Revised Jan. 2009 jlm This collection contains the organizational materials, presentations, minutes, correspondence, newspaper clippings, photographs, and other materials related to the XV Club of Little Rock, Arkansas. The organizational meeting of the XV Club was held at the office of Harmon L. Remmel on January 7, 1904. Carl E. Voss brought the idea of the club to Little Rock from Pine Bluff where an XV Club had been organized. Limited to 15 individuals, the club meets fifteen times during the year (October-May) and a different member hosts each meeting. According to Article 1 of the Constitution, "the object shall be social intercourse and the discussion of literary, scientific, historical, political, and all current topics; but no question having a sectarian bearing on Christianity shall be discussed in the Club." The minutes of the organizational meeting of January 7, 1904 also noted that the intent of the Club was to be "cultured but not too cultured, literary but not too literary, political but not too political, scientific but not too scientific, funny but not too funny, serious but not too serious. .” At the meeting, there were four founding members, Harmon L. Remmel (No. I), Charles McKee (No. II), Carl Voss (No. III), and Charles Ferguson (No. IV). A major goal of the Club is to invite guests to meetings to maintain attendance at 15. Guests have been noted in the minutes listing when available, along with the evening's topic. Topics varied from year to year and cover a wide range of interests, knowledge, and information.
