Register for "Contested Presidential Elections"

September 20, 2024, 8:30 AM CT - 2:30 PM CT | Hosted by: Smoky Hill Education Service Center | Salina, KS | Discussion Leader: Jeremy Bailey

Join TAH at the table for a discussion on five of the most contentious presidential elections in American history; 1800, 1824, 1876, 1960, and 2000. These bitter contests highlight the importance of norms and traditions for healthy republican government - norms that can only prevail if embraced by the contending candidates.

This program will be conducted as a discussion, utilizing primary documents as the only readings with the Professor facilitating the conversation instead of lecturing. Registrants are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions.

This year, I will begin both my government class and my class on “Law and Modern Society” with George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport." — Sean B.
