not helping great britain fight its fight. the airwaves in 1940, 1941 were filled with speeches like this. a major public figure could go to the radio networks and request time and probably be granted 15, 20 minutes to speak on one of the major networks. they didn't always speak in these set pieces. sometimes they actually had debates, face-to-face debates. there were a number of programs on the air, on the various networks, that were designed around this concept. it was america's town meeting of the air, american forum of the air, the university of chicago round table and every one of these debates that went around american foreign policy had a representative of either america first, the white committee, or very often, both. it wasn't just that they were giving speeches, they were actively debating with one another on the air, usually live, though not always, for the american people to listen to. but, again, this is still -- these are still elite opinions, right? these are still experts and foreign policy people. one of the r

that is a powerful majority in favor of great britain. everything possible, no limitations put on, that except going to war ourselves, 62%. look what happens when you put this phrase into it. at the risk of getting into the war ourselves, the numbers flip. it's the same question, except the risk of getting involved is raised. suddenly, 66% don't want to have anything to do. we shouldn't do everything to help britain and france win if it means we might get involved. that's just a difference of framing the question. and it produces a huge difference. and i think that is telling you something really interesting and important about american public opinion. they want the allies to win, but they sure don't want to fight this war themselves. this is what franklin roosevelt has to deal with as president, a public that wants a french british victory, but doesn't want to fight. and that's what he is trying to satisfy when he is forming american policy. and he is very, very acutely aware as he follows public opinion polls. he has all of this informa

for great britain yes, this morning started with a bronze medalfor great britain in the wheelchair basketball. that match was against spain. in tokyo, all eyes were on the gold—medal match, japan versus the usa and it was a nail—biting fourth quarter. the leader bounced between the two countries because only in the final minutes, the usa dominated, defending their title and winning that gold—medal. the marathon also went ahead this morning and david weir pushed to fifth place. he said he wanted a bronze medal but he was happy with his time, the fastest he has gone in a marathon in a long time. the last medal of these games for great britain went in the men's badminton. just reflect on the last 12 days of competition, great britain have won 12a medals, a2 of them were gold. they finished second in the medals table behind china, the same in rio five years ago. the paralympic games is notjust about sport, it is about sparking change, empowerment, inspiring the next generation and these games have definitely done all of that. as you said, only a few hours until the closing ceremony and davi

our best chance of staying out of this thing is keeping britain afloat, making sure great britain doesn't fall. ultimately, congress agreed with roosevelt. strong margins but not unanimous. there is division in the united states. public opinion and in congress. those are comfortable margins. the members of the house and the members of the senate were overwhelmingly in favor of roosevelt's proposal. as was the public in general. ultimately, what has the great debate accomplished? what has it done between the beginning of the war and now the spring of 1941? i think you can argue the interventionists convinced the american people to do everything possible short of war to help great britain, even and now at the risk of war. americans are willing to take that chance. but they had not convinced americans to go to war. that was still a step too far for most americans. they had sort of nudged the public in the direction of a more active role for the united states in world affairs, but had not convinced americans to take the lead in world affairs. continue to help great britain, but we don't want

would have thought great britain itself had a constitution. and that is the sort of a piece you cannot read in any one place. the british constitution as it had evolved over a very long time was a combination of understanding some checks like that magna carta, the rights of 1869, other developments had all sort of congealed to a sense there was a fundamental system. there were certain things that were off-limits. great britain itself, this is one of the great ironies immediately preceding the american revolution is columnists would have the thought of it as an empire of liberty great britain's biggest force for freedom in the world and a large part of that is because great britain had a constitution set a limit on the power of the king he could not do anything he wanted. and so there was an understanding that any political society had set up rules. the trick is if you are a a british colony declared its independence, you do not have hundreds of years for a general understanding of what the system should be. often that's very blood he. there is

when americans finally rose in general of old against great britain in 1775, they did their best to wipe out any trace of executive governors. at the first continental congress, they designated -- but gave him no powers beyond keeping deliberations in order. john hancock might have signed the declaration of independence in the boldest hand of all as president of the congress in 1776, but signing documents was almost all he did. some states actually abolished the office of governor entirely and tried to rule through a council elected by the legislature. having thrown off the rule of a king, americans were not eager to substitute something similar in its place. but the experience of the postwar years demonstrated that too little executive power might be a recipe for anarchy rather than liberty. when the constitutional convention assembled in philadelphia in 1787, one of the leading members of the convention, james wilson of pennsylvania, moved in the opening days of the liberations to create a national executive who would possess executive powers of congress. this generated first shocked s

britain and if you think about it, how many wars did great britain lose between 1750 and 1950? one they could imagine a nation-sized republic it never existed before. they could imagine. the separation of church and state the creation of a secular society from the point of view of government authority that had never happened before either. and finally a principle that political scientists think is crucial and an invention of the creation of the founder the doctrine of federalism. meaning that they're shared sovereignty there's no single source of sovereignty in the american republic which everyone up from aristotle forward thought you had to have. all those were great triumphs and admits the triumphs. there are two enormous tragedies. one is the failure to reach a just accommodation with the native americans and the other is the failure to end slavery. on and in that sense the great achievements of the founding are built upon two enormous crimes. um the founders could imagine all the things i mentioned earlier. but they could not imagine a biracial society. we're now a multirac
