    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

  • Stacey Wilkins Constitutional Law and Religion Seminar Paper Spring 2009
    Stacey Wilkins Constitutional Law and Religion Seminar Paper Spring 2009 BUILDING THE WALL BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE: HOW ANTI-CATHOLIC SENTIMENT HAS SHAPED ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE JURISPRUDENCE I. Introduction Modern Establishment Clause jurisprudence dates from the Supreme Court’s 1947 decision in Everson v. Board of Education.1 At that time, the Court adopted a standard of radical separation between church and state, which had as its defining application and consequence a constitutional ban against aid to parochial schools:2 The “establishment of religion” clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another […] No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion. Neither a state nor the Federal Government can, openly or secretly, participate in the affairs of any religious organizations or groups and vice versa. In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect “a wall of separation between church and State.” […] That wall must be kept high and impregnable.3 This prophetic language has governed the Supreme Court’s approach to Establishment Clause issues concerning aid to parochial schools ever since. It is my contention that the Court’s interpretation of the Establishment Clause, as it pertains to aid to religious schools, cannot properly be understood as a hermetically sealed body of constitutional law.4 It follows that the profoundly complex and seemingly inconsistent doctrine which has emerged from the Supreme Court’s decisions in this area cannot adequately be expounded jurisprudentially.

John F. Kennedy created a sensational moment as a Roman Catholic seeking the highest public office in the United States. Various groups resistant to any Catholic president organized to increase awareness of the separation of church and state. Faced with mounting opposition based on religion, John Kennedy and his campaign team created a group designed to face the challenges surrounding the issue. Dubbed Community Relations, the team handled every aspect of the religious issue for the Kennedy team. Ultimately winning the election, John Kennedy became the

  • When God Hates: How Liberal Guilt Lets the New Right Get Away with Murder
    WHEN GOD HATES: HOW LIBERAL GUILT LETS THE NEW RIGHT GET AWAY WITH MURDER José Gabilondo* INTRODUCTION During the past three decades, a hardworking coalition of conservatives, religious fundamentalists, and reactionaries has worked at rolling back some social changes that many would consider the soul of liberal progress. Until recently, higher education had tended to escape this campaign. During the past decade, though, the coalition has set its sights on the university. This could not come at a worse time, especially now that many public universities face budget cuts marking the transition from being publicly supported to “publicly assisted.” Declining public support for universities may not be a coincidence, either. It may reflect how the coalition has pushed states to rethink their social contract with universities, which have been painted by the coalition as a source of unwelcome ideas and dangerous cultural trends.1 The coalition’s grievance against the academy takes the form of a classic antidiscrimination complaint: excessively liberal faculty at universities—it is said—persecute conservatives in hiring and promotion, and, in general, by thinking less of them. The “conservative” in question often turns out to hold strongly religious views that are subjected—so the lament goes—to hostility comparable to racism, ethnic persecution, and homophobia and—an important last move—are equally worthy of mitigation as these forms of animus.2 In the conservative’s tale, he has become a * Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Associate Professor, College of Law, Florida International University; Harvard College, B.A. 1987; Boalt Hall, J.D. 1991.
