SUMMARY:The 1776 North Carolina Constitution
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina’s 1776 Constitution grew out of two crises: an 
 east-west power struggle that erupted into the War of the Regulation\, and 
 a fight for political representation against an increasingly hostile 
 English government. This lecture traces that story back to the religious 
 and political conflicts of 17th-century Britain\, through the migrations 
 and economic pressures that shaped colonial North Carolina\, to the 
 document that remains the state’s constitutional foundation today. 
 \n\nThe lecture is presented by an interdisciplinary team from Carolina 
 Law\, the History Department and the University Library. \n\nThis event is 
 free and open to the public.\n\nSpeakers: Charles Plambeck\, Adjunct 
 Professor of Law\, and Dr. Kathleen DuVal\, Carl W. Ernst Distinguished 
 Professor of History \n\nAbout the speakers:\n\nCharles T. Plambeck

 1776. His most recent publication\, The Constitutional History of the North 
 Carolina Free Elections Clause\, 103 N.C. L. Rev. 1143 (2025)\, traces the 
 Free Elections Clause from its origins in 1275 through to the present day. 
 He is Of Counsel at Caplin & Drysdale and an Adjunct Professor in 
 international taxation at the University of North Carolina School of 
 Law.\n\nDr. Kathleen DuVal is the Carl W. Ernst Distinguished Professor of
