SUMMARY:Constitution Day Lecture: Technology and Constitutional Rot
DESCRIPTION:Technological change affects the Constitution not only by creating new problems of constitutional interpretation\, but also by changing the distribution of economic and political power. New technologies alter what governments and private actors can know\, control\, predict\, and accomplish. When constitutional institutions fail to adapt\, large shifts in power and control can lead to constitutional rot: the process by which a democratic republic becomes less democratic and less republican over time. The United States has suffered from increasing constitutional rot over the past four decades; rapid technological change has made the rot worse. \nWe now live in the Algorithmic Society\, where public and private decision making increasingly depend on algorithms\, artificial intelligence\, platforms\, large-scale data collection and digital surveillance. The Algorithmic Society produces an Algorithmic State\, including a National Surveillance State organized around prediction and prevention. These changes disproportionately strengthen the executive branch\, weaken Congress\, limit practical judicial oversight\, and increase government’s dependence on powerful private firms and privately-owned technological infrastructure. \nLarge global technology companies increasingly exercise governing power over communications\, commerce\, national security\, access to information\, and public debate. As a result\, government and technology firms engage in repeated attempts at mutual co-optation\, blurring traditional distinctions between public and private power. Digital platforms reshape the public sphere through an attention economy that weakens knowledge\, intensifies political polarization\, and erodes trust. These changes exacerbate four central features of constitutional rot: growing wealth inequality\, political polarization\, loss of trust\, and policy disasters.\n\nhttps://law.stanford.edu/event/constitution-day-2/\n\nThis event is open to the public.\n\nRegister Here: https://forms.gle/bcohmg8j6WdgXGjw6

SUMMARY:American Caesarism: Confronting an Executive Unbound
DESCRIPTION:American Caesarism examines whether the United States faces risks similar to those that transformed the Roman Republic into an autocracy under Julius Caesar—namely\, the concentration of power in a single charismatic leader who claims to embody the popular will while circumventing traditional institutional constraints. During Donald Trump’s presidency\, scholars and commentators invoked this framework to analyze his norm-breaking behavior: his attacks on judicial independence\, attempts to personalize executive agencies\, rejection of electoral outcomes\, and cultivation of direct loyalty from supporters over institutional allegiance. \nThe Neukom Center for the Rule of Law and the Constitutional Law Center welcome Gregg Nunziata\, the Executive Director of the Society for the Rule of Law\, to expand on this concept and his article in the Atlantic The Age of American Caesarism.\n\nhttps://law.stanford.edu/event/american-caesarism-confronting-an-executive-unbound/\n\nThis event is open to the public.\n\nRegister: https://forms.gle/oh9MD8AJZbhHXrNk7
