The Second Amendment Goes to Court by Saul Cornell
Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective is pleased to announce the publication of its February 2008 issue. Origins can be found at http://ehistory.osu.edu/osu/origins/ [the podcast is found at http://ehistory.osu.edu/osu/origins/podcasts.cfm]
Few issues divide Americans as thoroughly and angrily as gun control and the Second Amendment. With the Supreme Court agreeing to hear a Second Amendment case for the first time in almost seventy years, Saul Cornell takes a look at the issues at stake and the history of American interpretations of this Amendment, and offers some thoughts on the outcomes.
Origins is a monthly on-line news magazine published by the Public History Initiative and eHistory in the History Department at The Ohio State University
In each issue of Origins, an academic expert will analyze a particular current issue--political, cultural, or social--in a larger, deeper historical context. In addition to the analysis provided by each month’s feature, Origins will also include podcasts, images, maps, graphs, timelines, and other material to compliment the essay.
Recent issues of Origins include:
• The Politics of International Adoption, by Peter Conn
• Conflict Termination: How to Endand Not to EndInsurgencies, by John Guilmartin
• Tradition vs Charisma: The Sunni Shi’i Divide in the Muslim World, by Stephen Dale
• Populism and Anti-Americanism in Modern Latin America, by Justin Lance
