and that will be george washington. the big hero of the day, of course, equal now to franklin as far as american fame goes, and so washington will take the lead in the constitutional convention. and the very chair in the back of the room behind me is the chair in which washington sat which, interestingly, is the only item in this room that we today have in this room that we know for certain was here as a part of those events. that chair was made in 1779 after the british left philadelphia. a lot of things were gone between the americans coming and going, british coming and going. we just don't have all the contents of the building anymore. pennsylvania's government has to make new furniture, including that chair for the speaker of pennsylvania. so that was in the room on that spot when washington took that position in 1787. so the virginia plan, three branches of government, somewhat familiar to us today, here's some of the issues that are going to face that plan as far as when you start debating. other plans are going

and washington lived with them or they lived with washington. there was a family relationship there. o, but, yeah, washington -- hamilton and lafayette were close. according to all accounts they were like brothers. as you mentioned, they were very close in age. hamilton was a few months older than lafayette. lafayette comes to america, he's french. he knows english, but his french is better than his english. but many of the washington -- and many aides did not know french. here is hamilton fluent in french. so they became very good friends much more so than probably any other aide. host: i think we had right behind -- thank you. >> congratulations on the book. i just finished reading it. in addition to the most remarkable, most heroic founding father with more character -- his moral character, has overcome the obstacles and incredible ability. so my question is, actually, you cover the revolutionary war in great detail. one of my favorite scenes -- w hen he talks about is a hamilton scene when had written a report on manufacturers and he wants p

not far from washington, d.c. it has a lot of the slogans that we associate with the revolutionary movement. most recognizable "liberty or death." these words reportedly spoken by virginian patrick henry at the beginning of the war. i'll take this carefully out of the mount. you can see "kill or be killed" which is a fairly sobering almost contemporary sounding slogan. and appeal to heaven which was something that appeared on new england flags at the same and was also a very popular slogan at the beginning of the war. the date 1775 and curiously this crown -- so if you'll remember on that havana powder horn also a crown in that case with gr 3. sometimes people who see this horn are a little confused and say, well, wait a minute, this guy was a virginian fighting in the continental army, why would he have a crown on his powder horn? but, of course, in 1775, these men are still fighting to restore their rights as englishmen within the empire. so it's perfectly consistent with that to appeal to the king, to see the k

he joins me now from washington, d.c. first let's talk about the class of detainees that this individual falls into. he's supposed to be one of 52 who have been cleared for transfer. what does that mean? who cleared him? >> well, most of those 52 men were cleared in 2009 and 2010 by a task force of military intelligence and law enforcement officials who the president appointed to review the situation at guatanamo bay. a few of them were cleared more recently by what's called a periodic review board that's supposed to reexamine the detainees' cases from time to time to see if they are a threat to u.s. security. >> sreenivasan: so it seems on the one hand you have the u.s. state department who wants to get on with this and transfer them away to other countries. and then on the other hand, you've got the department of justice and the department of defense fighting to keep them there, or apt least not to have a rule imposed to make them move. >> well, right. there's a very-- there are many, many contradictions you could say i

washington journal is live every day at 7:00 a.m. eastern on c-span. >> this sunday night on q&a, brookings institution senior fellow brown talks about the u.s. counter insurgency in&state building efforts in afghanistan. >> the u.s. did achieve improvements in security but nonetheless has it ultimately been worth depends on how it ends. and the years that i hesitate that i increasingly interrogate myself and question myself, we don't know how it will end. and i think that is the moment that moment where things may collapse. but it is also possible that two, three, five years down the road we will be back in a civil war in afghanistan. isis is now slowly emerging in the country. terrifying prospect that it is. much worse than the taliban. the taliban is deeply entrenched. if we end up five years down the road in a new civil war in afghanistan, a new safe havens for the taliban and isis, i will say it was not worth the price. >> sunday night at

and washington, as i said, realized the conflict. he writes in 1776 there is no who wants more than i to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery. while he says that he doesn't real do too much to bring it about. i think that yes, presentism is a real thing, but i think you can judge washington by his only standards of what he thought was moral. same thing with jefferson. they knew it was a contradiction to their ideals and an a front to talk about liberty, equality and justice and keep these people in changes. they believed slavery would end in america and on that they were of course tragically wrong. >> host: i just we would like to take questions if possible. anyone want to step up here and throw something at mr. davis. >> guest: not literally. >> was this a violation of the principles in the magna carta? >> guest: a greater scholar than the magna carter would have to answer than i. it is established in the bill of rights. the third amendment is the quartering act but i am not sure if it goes become to the magna carta. i th

a lot of people have connections to washington, d.c. there are a number of institutions that employ black women. there is an opportunity to work as a teacher. you have howard university, one of the most prestigious institutions at the time. and you have the heart of the federal government that is already desegregated. so you have a white collar economy that black women can go into. susan swain, host: the story of ida mckinley can best be told so you have a white collar economy that black women can go into. there is domestic work available there your and a long established left community that has been there since the late 18th century. so there were already churches and businesses and doctors and all kinds of services. so even though the city is largely segregated, there were spaces that created affluent communities and new migrants and settlers were looking for those kinds of opportunities. a lot of women were coming from the midsouth, north carolina, south carolina, virginia. you have some coming from georgette. but predominantly you w

the idea that washington d.c. should be telling us how to deliver health care is nonsense. the idea that washington d.c. should tell us how to do transportation infrastructure should be left to the states. because if washington would take a look at the constitution and read the bill of rights, it would get up to the tent of amendment that says the powers not delegated to the government by the constitution are reserved to the states or for the individual. let's get back to being a constitutional country. believe in the constitution. apply the constitution. [applause] that is what we have to do. we need a president of the united states that has a record of delivering. listen, you're going to hear a lot of people stand on this stage, and they are going to tell you a lot of good things. but all too often it is just rhetoric. i think it is time and i hope you agree that we have a president -- we will have eight years of a young inexperienced united states senator that i think has gotten us into the ditch economically a
