030 Origins of the US Constitution
Manage episode 346334978 series 2902610
The US Constitution (1787) was written in the face of three significant insurrections: Indigenous resistance to colonization; revolts of the enslaved; and an armed uprising of farmers. It was drafted to protect property against the threat of political and economic justice. In part three of our trilogy on rebellions of the enslaved and the origins of the United States we are joined by ROBERT OVETZ to discuss his new book, We the Elites: How the US Constitution Serves the Few (Pluto 2022).
