Digital editing, and digital editions in particular, will likely expand in the next few decades as a multitude of assets become digitized and made available as online collections. One important question is: What role will librarians and archivists play in this era?

ARTICLE Rediscovering the State Constitutional Right to Happiness and Safety By JOSEPH R. GRODIN* Most people, at least most lawyers, are aware that of the trilogy of rights made famous by the Declaration of Independence-life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness-only the first two made it into the Federal Con- stitution, felicity giving way, in the Fifth Amendment's due process clause, to a more sober concern for the rights of property.1 What most people, even most lawyers, are less likely to know is that fully two thirds of the state constitutions contain provisions which either declare the right of per- sons to pursue happiness or (along with safety) to actually "obtain" it. Scholars, as well as lawyers, have tended to ignore these state consti- tutional provisions, apparently regarding them as little more than pious echoes of the Declaration.

  • Why Does Freedom Wax and Wane? Some Research Questions in Social Change and Big Government
    Why Does Freedom Wax and Wane? Some Research Questions in Social Change and Big Government Tyler Cowen Tyler Cowen. “Why Does Freedom Wax and Wane? Some Research Questions in Social Change and Big Government.” Mercatus Working Paper, Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Arlington, VA, 2000. ABSTRACT The 20th century has seen some of the greatest restrictions on liberty of any period in human history, as well as significant liberalizations and improvements. These questions do not always hold a central place in mainstream academic dis- course, but there are scholars who seek to explain how and why these changes have occurred. This paper attempts to make this research accessible to a broader audience. It presents relevant research on social change and concludes that Western societies are not headed off the proverbial economic cliff. Even though governments may be larger and more bureaucratic than before, they largely con- tinue to support freedom because failure to do so could destroy the entire system. Moreover, market-oriented economies have demonstrated a lasting ability to out- compete alternatives, such as communism. Technological changes and advance- ments hold a promise for greater freedom and prosperity across the world. JEL codes: B25, B59, D72, H10, H60, K10, L51, 057, P11, P16, Q58 Keywords: classical liberalism, constitution, corporations, deregulation, economic development, environmental regulation, free market, globalization, liberty, mass media, New Zealand miracle, public choice, rational irrationality, social change, Thatcher revolution, Tullock paradox, Westminster system AUTHOR’S NOTE Mercatus first put this piece out in 2000. We all thought it was worthwhile to revisit these issues, given the uncertain course of liberty in today’s world.

Th ere is a trend toward admitting that economics is inherently less precise and less accurate than some had thought. I grew up in Bergen County, New Jersey, outside of New York City, in a family that was Jewish but not religious, and Democratic and “liberal” in the fashion common to such folk. My father, a pediatrician, is now retired. My mother, now deceased for some time, left the house after the divorce and turned entrepreneur when I was ten, but she by no means left her four sons. At age thirteen, though not the least bookish, I was put in the smart eighth-grade class at the public school. Gradually, I became friendly with a classmate of very prodigious intellect. We shared interests in music and in our classmates and teachers. I read nothing, but I did know one thing: I disliked school. I had enjoyed kindergarten and fi rst grade, but from sec- ond grade, I was not inspired by the teachers, and I resented being pressed into their programs. With each year it had gotten worse. My friend’s political inclinations were unconventional, but I scarcely knew how advanced he was in economics and philosophy.

Brice 1 Introduction The Constitution has been the flagship document of United States of America since 1787. After the short reign of the Articles of Confederation, the US Constitution has endured for well over two hundred years. The document that the Founding Fathers drafted in the late eighteenth century has survived after being amended with the Bill of Rights almost immediately after it was ratified by the states.1 The long life of the United States’ governing charter is a testament to the wisdom of the Founding Generation. The Founders were able to craft a constitution that established a system of government that has seen thirteen Atlantic colonies transform into a nation from sea to shining sea. When drafting the Constitution, the Founders are known to have been influenced by European philosophers such as John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the Baron de Montesquieu.
