Goldstein, University of Delaware Paper The Privileges and Immunities of American Citizenship: Thick or Thin? Jordon B. Barkalow, Bridgewater State College Overview: The question of what it means to be an American is pursued through an analysis of the Congressional debate over the Fourteenth Amendment. Analysis demonstrates that American citizenship is best understood in liberal terms. Paper Prosecuting the Powerful: State Regulation of 19th Century Corporations Jonathan Chausovsky, SUNY, Fredonia Overview: State Attorneys General in the 19th Century actively prosecuted corporations for violations of their charters. I position Attorneys General as political actors, and explain when and why they sought to rein in powerful economic actors. Paper Corruption in History: The 1853 Impeachment Trial of Judge Levi Hubbell Michael A. Kwas, University of Wisconsin, Madison Overview: This paper examines the 1853 impeachment trial of Judge Levi Hubbell. It vividly illustrates conceptions of political corruption in flux and demonstrates both the instrumental and normative role that narratives of corruption played in creating a legitimate trial. Paper Laissez-Faire Redux: The Supreme Court and Age/Disability Discrimination William M.

Johnson, Gustavus Adolphus College Overview: In this paper, we use a new collection of over 3,000 press releases from a sample of Christian groups to test the accuracy of the claim that religious groups are limited in the types of argument frames they use. Paper Religious Conservatives and Social Movement Institutionalization Kimberly H. Conger, Iowa State University Overview: The religious conservative movement in the U.S. shows less organizational institutionalization than we would expect. I examine the reasons for this and implications for social movement theory and the study of the religious conservative movement. Paper The Political Consequences of Premillennial Theology in America Paula N. Booke, University of Chicago Overview: This paper examines the relationship between premillennialism and politics by examining the social network of premillennial websites.
