Battle on the Ballot: Political Outsiders in US Presidential Elections

(View Complete Item Description)

In 2016, a billionaire businessman and the first woman nominated by a major party ran against each other for president of the United States. In very different ways, both candidates approached the presidency as outsiders, reaching beyond the traditional boundaries of US presidential politics. As outsiders, the 2016 candidates are noteworthy, but not unique; indeed, the 2016 race resonates with the legacies of outsiders who have come before. This exhibition explores the rich history of select individuals, parties, events, and movements that have influenced US presidential elections from the outside—outside Washington politics, outside the two-party system, and outside the traditional conception of who can be an American president.

The Electoral College

(View Complete Item Description)

This is a project we created as part of our education class. In it, is a way to engage the students in the Electoral College and have them do a paper to research the topic and how it related to the United States today. Now only do they do deep thinking about their own thoughts on this topic, but can compare and contrast today's America with late 18th century America and form ideas based on these two eras. It gets the students to debate each other, while also getting to see what the Founders were thinking when they created the Electoral College and whether it applies today or not, meaning that they can study the Constitution as well, and develop thought on whether they think it should be taken liberally or more strictly.
