The Championship Round of the Harlan Institute Competition Will Be Held In The Rotunda of The National Archives

High School students will moot whether the United Colonies should declare independence from Great Britain.

Last this week, I announced that the topic of the 14th Annual Harlan Institute Virtual Supreme Court Competition will focus on America's 250th Anniversary. The question presented is whether the United Colonies declare independence from Great Britain.

With something of a tease, I wrote that the championship round will be held before a panel of judges in a "special place."

I can now (almost certainly) confirm that the championship round will be held in the Rotunda Gallery of the National Archives, in the presence of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. I will have much more details in due course.

Teams can register to compete now.

The Rumba in the Rotunda!!!!!
I don't care who wins, I'm not pronouncing it "Al-yew-min-e-um"
OK, I do like the sound of "Laudanum"
But British Cars?? good thing sailing ships didn't have Carburetors or they'd never have ruled the Seas.
Remember the "Mad Men" episode where Sterling Cooper's CFO decided to kill himself with the exhaust from his new Jaguar??
Wouldn't start.

More importantly, should the "United Colonies" include the various portions of Canada by force of arms, making them united whether they like it or not?
