THE FEDERALIST SOCIETY
30th Annual Student Symposium
February 27, 2009
J.B. Moore Society of International Law
CAPITALISM,
MARKETS AND THE
CONSTITUTION
February 25 & 26, 2011
Welcome
America’s economy, characterized by
capitalism and the free market, has generally
provided material prosperity for its citizens
since the country was founded. In the last few
years, however, that same economy has faced
a financial crisis and recession worse than any
other since the Great Depression. The federal
government took an active role in responding
to the downturn, favoring more intervention
over less. The results included a bailout of
major banks and automobile companies, an
$800 billion stimulus package, an overhaul
of financial regulations, and a comprehensive
health care reform package.
These measures were hotly contested,
and a vocal group of citizens responded by
forming Tea Party groups across the country.
Members of this movement placed a heavy
emphasis on the ideas of the founders and
the original meaning of the Constitution.
Opposition to the federal government’s
economic approach, primarily led by the Tea
Party movement, culminated in historic
Republican gains in the 2010 midterm elections. Shortly after taking control, the new
majority held a reading of the Constitution on
the floor of the House of Representatives for
the first time in history.
The battle over the government’s role
in economic regulation has not only been
waged in the halls of Congress, but in the
courts as well. In the past year a total of 28
states have filed joint or individual lawsuits
challenging the constitutionality of the health
care reform bill’s individual mandate.
With the state of the economy at a
historic low and the popularity of the Constitution at a historic high, now is an apt time to
examine the topic of capitalism, markets and
the Constitution. This symposium seeks to
explore the following questions: What were
the economic theories of the founders and
how did they influence the Constitution? To
what extent does the Constitution protect
economic liberties, if at all? What effect
does American federalism, embodied in the
Constitution, have on the substance and style
of government regulation? Is a welfare state
consistent with American exceptionalism?
What is the role of the courts in times of
economic uncertainty? And lastly, what were
the causes and consequences of the recent
financial crisis?
The University of Virginia School of
Law and its Federalist Society chapter are
honored to host the 2011 Student Symposium. The setting is the perfect match for this
symposium — a law school with a history of
focusing on the intersection of law and the
economy located just miles from the home
of James Madison. We hope that each of you
will approach our panels with an open mind
and insightful questions and will discuss with
each other what you learn over the course of
the weekend. Anyone who has attended past
Federalist Society symposia knows to expect
the highest degree of respectful and cordial
debate. Thank you for joining us in Charlottesville for what is sure to be an exciting and
engaging event.

Debate: Economic
Freedoms and the
Constitution
University of Virginia School of Law,
Caplin Auditorium
Since West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish and the
end of the Lochner era, the Supreme Court
has adhered to the belief that “[t]he Constitution does not speak of freedom of contract.”
But is this commitment consistent with an
original understanding of the Constitution?
This panel will address whether the Constitution permits the extensive state regulation
of economic affairs. Even if Lochner as a
decision was illegitimate, has the Supreme
Court retreated too far in protecting economic liberties from state interference? Is the
Constitution a thoroughly libertarian document or is it compatible with a high degree of
state regulation? Does either understanding
come with any limiting principles? If so, what
are their sources? In any event, is it desirable
for a constitution to constrain the power of
the state in the area of redistribution and
economic regulation?

Justice Holmes’ dissent in Lochner v. New York
is well known for the statement, “[A] constitution is not intended to embody a particular
economic theory, whether of paternalism and
the organic relation of the citizen to the State
or of laissez faire.” But is this belief consistent
with the original Constitution? To what extent
did the ideas of thinkers such as Adam Smith
shape the founders’ understanding of human
nature and public virtue? In what ways do their
economic and philosophical commitments
continue to shape our constitutional government today? Are capitalism and a commitment
to civic virtue complementary or antagonistic?
Does the Constitution promote a virtuous citizenry or is it simply a set of political structures
that can accommodate a pluralistic society? At
a time when the virtues of capitalism are often
called into question, it will be useful to examine
the precise place of this theory in the foundational structures of our government.

Panel II: Federalism and
Interstate Competition
University of Virginia School of Law,
Caplin Auditorium
This panel will assess American federalism as
a competitive institution that offers a marketplace of state regulatory regimes. With the
recession impacting some states more heavily
than others, it is time to ask whether interstate
competition is good for the nation. Should
state-by-state approaches to issues such as
health care, financial regulation, environmental
protection and same-sex marriage be encouraged? Does competition among the states lead
to the best outcome or a race to the bottom?
How will events such as the recent recession
and health care reform impact the marketplace
of state regulation?

Many politicians have blamed business for
the current recession, leading to additional
measures by the U.S. government to regulate
the market. Some critics argue that the Federal
Reserve’s missteps in managing the monetary
system created an economic bubble. That
bubble pervaded the real estate market in part
through relaxed lending standards promulgated by the government-sponsored enterprises
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. When the bubble
inevitably deflated, the crisis spread to the
general economy, resulting in high unemployment and negative or slow economic growth.
But will the measures the government took to
stem the crisis and regulate the market reduce
economic growth in the long term? John
Allison will outline the fundamental economic
and philosophical solutions to these problems
in his presentation.

Panel III: The Welfare State
and American Exceptionalism
University of Virginia School of Law,
Caplin Auditorium
Following the recent passage of President
Barack Obama’s health care legislation, this
panel will reassess whether it is possible to
have a welfare state that meshes with the
American constitutional tradition. Is the
enduring presence of government entitlements
antithetical to our system of government, or is
there a way to accommodate these programs
without changing the historical American
relationship between the individual and the
government? Will the growing role of government in the United States cause the country
to increasingly mirror Europe, or can the
nation chart an alternate course? Does the U.S.
Constitution’s relative lack of positive rights
compared to its counterparts around the world
pose problems for proponents of an American
welfare state? Is the American suspicion toward
state entitlements the product of a longstanding philosophical commitment or the result
of historical contingency? Are there currently
any constitutional limits on the growth of the
welfare state? Should there be?

Panel IV: Economic
Uncertainty and the Role
of the Courts
University of Virginia School of Law,
Caplin Auditorium
This panel will examine the role of the courts
in an uncertain economic climate. Given the
financial troubles plaguing the United States,
how much emphasis should the judiciary place
on the constitutional protection of private
property? In a difficult economic climate,
should a judge’s empathy for those in financial
distress affect his rulings? If a state defaults on
its obligations, what is the appropriate role of
the courts? Should a refusal to pay constitute a
violation of the Takings Clause? On a broader
level, to what extent do interpretive methods
have financial consequences? How much
stock do investors put in stability in judicial
reasoning when choosing where to place their
money? Does our current law protect private
property too much or not enough to maximize
social utility, and should that be the standard
by which we judge the legal protection of
property rights? Does the experience of other
countries offer any lessons in this area?
