Great Course: The Federalist Papers
September 21, 2021 @ 11:00 am
Location: Creative Lounge
Great Course: The Federalist Papers Tuesdays
Led by resident: Denny McDonnell Watch the 30-minute lecture. Discussion follows.
9/21 Topic: The system that emerged under the new constitution gave the federal government the ability to determine the scope of its own powers. What checks did the system place on the federal government? Who gets to decide when the federal government has violated its powers? Reflect on the powers of the states and the American people.
The Federalist Papers represent the most authoritative source on the U.S. Constitution. These Essays are still cited today whenever the Supreme Court decides on the proper interpretation of the Constitution.
You will be taken back in time by distinguished Professor of Law at Indiana University Mavrer School of Law, Joseph L. Hoffman, JD. His ability to set the stage, explain the personalities of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay along with the other FRAMERS of The Constitution and explaining the decisiveness of public opinion on how our new country should be governed is thought provoking and even exciting.
Dr. Hoffman presents these 85 Essays, printed in the newspapers of the 13 states to promote ratification of the proposed new Constitution, into 12 easily understood lectures. These fragile times,11 years after our independence was won, proves true the old adage we all know so well.
“Watch out what you pray for. You may get it”.

New Instructor Bio:
I'm Jessy Nicholson and the owner of The Sankalpa Collective. I started my journey into movement back in 2006 when I attended my first pole fitness class. Shortly after, I began teaching and fell in love with helping others explore what their bodies are capable of. Yoga quickly became a big part of my life and taught me the importance of practicing mind-body connection in my personal life and in all of my movement practices. I am a 500hr RYT Prana Vinyasa yoga instructor and continue to explore the endless ways that yoga and pole flow together. I can't wait to practice with you and help you develop your own, unique movement path. Get ready to have fun and fall in love with what your body is capable of!

New Instructor Bio:
I'm Jessy Nicholson and the owner of The Sankalpa Collective. I started my journey into movement back in 2006 when I attended my first pole fitness class. Shortly after, I began teaching and fell in love with helping others explore what their bodies are capable of. Yoga quickly became a big part of my life and taught me the importance of practicing mind-body connection in my personal life and in all of my movement practices. I am a 500hr RYT Prana Vinyasa yoga instructor and continue to explore the endless ways that yoga and pole flow together. I can't wait to practice with you and help you develop your own, unique movement path. Get ready to have fun and fall in love with what your body is capable of!
