One important movement from the 1800s was the abolitionist movement. There was always people who opposed slavery--at the time an integral part of American society,-- but the Second Great Awakening encouraged Christians to come to the realization that it was sinful and begin to join the abolitionist movement. One leader of the movement was William Lloyd Garrison, who had the radical belief that black people should be free members of American society. He also founded The Liberator, an influential abolitionist newspaper. This newspaper was so influential, in fact, that it influenced another abolitionist, Frederick Douglass, to start his own newspaper: The North Star. Douglass was a free slave who had escaped to New England and began speaking to other abolitionists soon after. Beyond Northern white men and free black people, the third big portion of the abolitionists were women like Sarah and Angelina Grinke, two sisters who advocated for women's rights and the abolition of slavery.

Another influential movement in the 1800s was transcendentalism. The basic beliefs of transcendentalism were that humans are basically good, nature is pure, and society is corrupt; transcendentalists though that true understanding comes from feeling and experience, not reason. This originally stemmed from philosophers and writers and their views on nature, such as Walt Whitman. Whitman portrayed the spirit of young America with song-like poems and celebrated the common person. He inspired many future poets and musical composers. Another transcendentalist was Henry David Thoreau, who was a writer and thinker who believed in nonviolence and respect for all life. He wrote Civil Disobedience, which spoke of passive resistence to injustice. The movement as a whole really represents America's ideals about beauty and nature.

Women's Rights was yet another large, influential movement in the 1800s. Women had very few rights, both legally and socially, which basically made it so married women had next to no rights; single women weren't much better off. There were three main leaders of the women's rights movement (among many others): Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony. All three of these women were origianlly members of the abolitionist movement; that's actually how Stanton ended up founding the Seneca Falls Convention with Mott. At the World Antislavery Convention, Stanton was a delegate but not allowed to speak because of the fact that she was a woman. There, she met Mott and they came up with the idea of Seneca Falls. The whole women's rights movement challenged the idea that men were superior to women and deserved more rights, and completely broke down the whole foundation of the familial and social structures at the time.

in the united states, the president is controlled by the

constitution, and in all respects subordinate to it. insofar

as it deals with presidential power, however, the american

constitution has proved to be a highly malleable document.

with very few exceptions,' the constitutional provisions relating to the president have not been changed at all since

they were ratified in 1787. but in the late twentieth century, those provisions do not mean what they meant in

1787. the constitution is a legal document, and it is enforced judicially; but its meaning was hardly fixed when it

was ratified. in particular, the contemporary president has

far broader powers than the original constitution contemplated. it is remarkable but true that large-scale changes in

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
