Abstract:
North Carolina’s Republicans are in control of state politics but are struggling over the correct path to take. Grassroots conservatives, often motivated by moral or religious concerns, have put pressure on Republicans after their support helped them achieve many victories. Also a problem is the class barrier within the North Carolina Republican Party. This has caused pressure as the old guard or “country-club Republicans” are being forced to pay attention to the religious right, “Wal-Mart Republicans,” and grassroots Republicans.

Abstract:
In the debate over House Bill 2, opinions diverge on who is the intimidator. The author talks about why efforts to find a compromise broke down and how the value of freedom versus security played a role. For opponents of the “bathroom bill,” state lawmakers were bullies dictating to local officials what ordinances they could pass and which bathrooms transgender North Carolinians could use in government buildings. For supporters of HB2, out-of-state interests were the bullies who were using boycotts and other pressure to dictate what laws could be passed and what their bathroom policies could be.

Abstract:
North Carolina’s constitution gives state lawmakers authority over the University of North Carolina System, but its governing board has traditionally rejected politics.

The recent actions of the Board of Governors and their political ties and influences are examined.

Abstract:
The fight for ratification of the Constitution in North Carolina deserves more attention for the way it fits into the larger picture of the founding era. The views of the Federalists and Antifederalists are presented, as well as how the debate initiated the socialization of politics in the state. Rejecting the Constitution allowed North Carolina to push for the introduction and adoption of a bill of rights and protect their interests. The debate around the ratification of the Constitution in the state is detailed along with its importance in July 1788.
