  • Ireland and the Declaration of Independence

    Ireland and the Declaration of Independence
    2025/11/13
    "Irish men and Irish women, in the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland through us summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom. She now seizes that moment and supported by her exiled children in America and by gallant allies in Europe, but relying in the first on her own strength, she strikes in full confidence of victory. Six times during the past 300 years, they have asserted it in arms. We hereby proclaim the Irish Republic as a sovereign, independent state." -1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic In this episode, we discuss the long and deep connections between Ireland and the United States. Topics include: -similarities and differences between the Irish Proclamation and the American Declaration of Independence -the economic and political situation in Ireland in the 1700s -the different concepts of independence in the Colonies and Ireland, from legislative independence under the British Crown to absolute independence -the complicated story of Theobald Wolfe Tone, founder of the United Irishmen and leader of the Irish rebellion in 1798 -the gradual dissemination in Ireland of three radical ideas from the American Revolution: 1) that revolutions against the British Empire could, in fact, succeed, 2) that the republican model of national sovereignty--as opposed to a constitutional monarchy--was viable, and 3) that religious freedom was an attainable goal

  • Creating "THE PEOPLE": Whig Legal Concepts plus Lessons from Ireland and Spanish America

    Creating "THE PEOPLE": Whig Legal Concepts plus Lessons from Ireland and Spanish America
    2025/10/30
    "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for ONE PEOPLE to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..." "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of THE PEOPLE to alter or to abolish it..." In this episode, we explore the creation of the legal concept of THE PEOPLE with the right to overthrow their government. Topics include : -the tension in the British Empire between Whigs, who valued popular parliamentary power, and the Tories, who valued centralized royal power -the organic development of the colonial legal system from a semi-formal, ad-hoc lay profession to a sophisticated, complex formal profession -the evolution of legal arguments from those that justified dissent and resistance (1764-1774) to those that justified revolution and rebellion (1775-1776) -legal lessons that American colonists learned from the harshness of British rule over Ireland -legal lessons that American colonists learned from the corporatist model in Spanish America -the Whig legal strategy to be broad in its definition of THE PEOPLE in order to include different social classes, different geographical regions, and different understandings of the law (from common, everyday concepts of rights and justice to highly technical concepts derived from constitutional law and legal scholarship)
