Wood, Brown University Professor of History Emeritus and Chair of the National Constitution Center’s Distinguished Scholars Advisory Panel, discusses the Founders’ attitudes and beliefs about aristocracy in America, where “titles of nobility” are prohibited by the Constitution, but where aristocratic elements of privilege and power nevertheless have survived. The men who espoused the radical idea that all are created equal shared the tradition of British aristocracy, and Wood examines how their beliefs differed from or mirrored those held in England, which beliefs have lingered, and what their effects have been.

Veteran Supreme Court correspondent Joan Biskupic discusses her new book, American Original, and introduces us to Justice Scalia, a proponent of “textualism” in interpreting the Constitution and a champion of social conservatives.

In the 1930s, with the country gripped by the Great Depression and millions of Americans struggling to get by, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Federal Writers' Project under the New Deal as a make-work program for artists and authors. A number of writers, including Zora Neale Hurston and Eudora Welty were dispatched all across America to chronicle the eating habits, traditions, and struggles of local people. The project, called "America Eats," was abandoned in the early 1940s because of the World War and was never completed.
