In U.S. history, previous periods of gridlock and partisanship eventually gave way to bursts of constitutional amendments. Given our current political climate, are we positioned to see a wave of new amendments? In the book The People’s Constitution: 200 Years, 27 Amendments, and the Promise of a More Perfect Union authors John Kowal and Wilfred Codrington III look at the evolution of American democracy.
Guests:
