Dolley Madison and Constitutional Thinking, by Dr. Catherine Allgor

Dolley Madison and Constitutional Thinking, by Dr. Catherine Allgor. This short video assesses the role played by Dolley Madison in promoting the experiment in republican government set in motion by the Constitution. She fully appreciated the 18th century idea of “manners”; i.e. how we treat each other is important. Dr. Catherine Allgor contends that, when it came to manners, “women held the whole thing together” and Dolley’s contribution was invaluable as the young nation worked out constitutional precepts in practice.
