In this two-part lecture, Dr. Mayer explains it was the "radical Whig" political tradition, which began in England over a century before the U.S. Constitutional Convention, that developed and promoted the idea of a constitutional government strictly limited to the protection of individual liberty. Part I sketches the lives and thought of three generations of Radical Whig thinkers, and Part II shows how the ideas of these Whig "forefathers" influenced both the patriot leaders of the American Revolution and the framers of the U.S. Constitution.
