Populism in Modern Constitutions

Richard Parker, Paul W. Williams Professor of Criminal Justice at
Harvard Law School, presents his thoughts on how populism has
figured in the study and practice of modern American constitutional
law and the effect it has had. Opening and closing his remarks with
the rallying cry: 'Power to the People!', Professor Parker recalls
his involvement in the 'New Left' in the 1960s, his role as a
community organizer, and how his activism led to spells in jail.
