Lecture Topics

  • Chapter 35: "Day Zero — Your Starting Point"
  • The book's closing argument: the five steps, the WORK FOR US! Promise, the movement structure
  • Synthesis: the complete three-part strategy (constitutional remedy, legal challenge, electoral strategy) and how each part supports the others
  • Critical assessment: where the book's argument is strongest, where it is weakest, and what it does not address
  • Course conclusion: the relationship between diagnosis and remedy in political reform movements — when does accurate diagnosis lead to viable action, and when does it not?

Reflect & Discuss

Final discussion: Having read the entire book, construct your own assessment. Is UNINCORPORATUS a viable roadmap for political reform, a valuable diagnosis without a viable remedy, or a fundamentally flawed analysis? What would you change about the book's strategy if you were advising the movement? What did the book get right that mainstream political science has missed? Post your final reflection in the Week 15 Team Chat: your thesis, your strongest piece of evidence, and what you will do next.
