On Wednesday I gave the Addison C. Harris Lecture at the University of Indiana Mauer School of Law in Bloomington on "The Recent Unpleasantness: How to Understand the Cycles of Constitutional Time."
This lecture discusses many of the themes and ideas about American constitutional development and American politics I've been developing in recent years. It explains why American politics has seemed so dysfunctional, how to understand the 2016 election and the Trump presidency, and the likely future for the United States.
