“The 1787 Project Podcast”
Justin Dyer
The 1787 Project is the podcast version of the lectures for Professor Justin Dyer’s socially-distanced class on the U.S. Constitution at the University of Missouri. Running from August – December in the Fall of 2020, the course is about how the U.S. Constitution of 1787 frames the way we organize our life together as a political community. Published twice a week, the episodes explore who gets to decide big questions of public policy and why, analyze the design of our national political institutions and the contested boundaries between them, and look at the interplay of democratic politics and constitutional government.
The latest episode from September 28, 2020, “When Can You Sue the President?”:
