THIS HOUSE BELIEVES THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE WAS AN I
This project presented some of the most distinguished jurists in America and England participating in an Oxford-style debate over the legality of the Declaration of Independence. The Honorable Anthony J. Scirica moderated the debate between a panel of barristers selected by the Honourable Society of Grays Inn and scholars and jurists recruited by the Temple American Inn of Court. The program began with pre-debate refreshments and a viewing of historical documents including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. The United Kingdom team argued that the Declaration of Independence was illegal and treasonable. The United States team argued that the Declaration was legal and had precedence in English law. At the end of the debate, attendees voted on the winner.   Materials: Facts, Law, Handouts, DVD Topic Areas: historical, special project, award
