The 1851 Center’s first publication, Presuming Liberty: Using Ohio’s Constitution to Limit Government, draws on several unique provisions of the Ohio Constitution and precedents by the Ohio Supreme Court to make the case that, when in doubt, Ohio’s Constitutional Controversies must be resolved in favor of individual rights.
The Center’s second publication, Defending Liberty in Ohio: A Roadmap for Protecting Freedom and Limiting Government with the State Constitution, chronicles provisions of the Ohio Constitution that render Ohio an advantageous place to litigate for liberty.
The Center’s most recent publication, The Supreme Court Clears the Path to End State Employees’ Automated Union Political Contributions, is the first in a series of “Legal Viewpoints” on very specific legal policy issues. It chronicles Ohio’s misuse of overturned federal law to benefit union political efforts.
