and the other one, george mason is looking at the idea of the bill of rights and kind of wants to see that. so he's not crazy about parts of it. a lot of the guys from the big states like massachusetts or virginia don't like the senate. there's all kinds of issues. most of these men will put aside their doubts and sign their names. september 17th, 1787. at that point, franklin looks at the chair where washington sits and says look behind washington's head. this carving of a half sun on the back of the chair. he said all summer i've been trying to decide if that sun is supposed to be rising or setting, and i could not make up my mind. until now. now at length i have the happiness to know that is a rising and not a setting sun. he felt good. he'd been working for this since the 1750s, this unity of the american states, and he finally sees it happening. one of the great stories that comes afterwards, he's supposedly asked what kind of a government they'd created here in philadelphia and he said it's a republic if you can keep it, his last warning to us. think about the united states. one

eli dourado is a policy program director at george mason . willsity mercatus center keep it focused on that. i got my alabama, good morning. caller: good morning. ofaking of the hacking american computers, donald trump made a statement that he hoped hillarysia would hack clinton's e-mail, which i think was out of character as well as stupid. why do you tell the left-hand what the right hand is doing or however they put it? russia in recent years try to interfere with other countries elections? guest: absolutely. especially in the baltics and balkans and eastern europe. the have been very active with propaganda. from --d to provide -- promote islamophobia. they have become insular and cause division within countries, it sort of suits or interest. with regard to state department e-mails, it's likely that russia is in possession of some of those e-mails to my think. that secretary clinton used may very well have been compromised. i would not be surprised if it came to light in some point during the election at a strategic moment were released. t

and the second is by david bernstein of george mason law school called "rehabilitating lochner: defending individual rights against progressive reform." i would also recommend this book as well. and if you read this book, you're going to get a somewhat different take on the facts of what was happening in the bake shop trade than you've heard so far. for one thing, you haven't heard anything about the difference between the bake shop companies, the large bakery companies who actually were not necessarily working their workers longer hours. they could shift workers, for example, because they had enough workers to work around the clock that way. baking does involve a certain amount of round-the-clock tending of the ovens. and if you have many, many employees, it's easier to work them in shifts to handle that. if you have a very, very small bake shop, a solo bake shop, then it's harder to do that. and at that point, employees have to stay longer. they have to sleep somewhere nearby so they can get up and tend the ovens. and this was a law that was primarily -- and at the time, it was actually

mason, from georgetown, from hopkins, american university here in washington, and it's great to have you here. but let's all face it. u usc is nurm ber one as teaching public diplomacy as an academic discipline. it's number one even though it began at fletcher. there are a lot of people that don't like to admit that, including the fletcher alumni. but it's the truth. if that's the case what should we be doing both to respond to the academic environment and two, how can we best contribute to what the country needs, to what the state department needs, to what diplomacy needs, to what world peace and order need. what can we best do. that's how we framed this. not that public diplomacy was dead but what could we do. and the almost universal response from everybody, including inside the state department was what fletcher could do was draw on its real strength which was being an interdisciplinary school. so -- and being sort of removed from the washington battles, right? to be able to stand back and sort of look at where we're going and try to see if we can't actually come up with somethin

i said that madison drew centrally on george mason's virginia declaration which also inspired jefferson. let's look at the amendments that madison proposed that were not ultimately adopted. his first proposal talks about natural rights. it says all powers originally vested in and consequently derived from the people, it talks about the need for government to protect natural rights, and then it says that the people have an inalienable right to reform or change their government when it's inadequate to the purposes of the institution. this takes us right back to the original declaration and reminds us of the centrality of the right to alter and abolish government that everyson put in the declaration. second proposal was the one we talked about that appears in the original bill of rights as the first amendment, and that's the one that says there has to be one representative in congress for every 40,000 inhabitants. madison's third proposal, this is the one that he thought was the most important in the entire bunch. this was his favorite amendment. and it says no state shall violate the equa
