Constitution Day Debate on the Commerce Clause
Sep. 15, 2008 by ngarrett
In celebration of Constitution Day, Professor Richard Adelstein of the Economics Department and Professor John Finn of the Government Department will debate the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution on Wednesday, September 17, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the Olin Library Smith Reading Room.
“Congress shall have power to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.” (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3.)
Some years ago, the students of Professor Adelstein and Finn noted their disagreement about the Commerce Clause and arranged for a lively debate. It was so popular that this encore performance has been arranged.
