191. The Deep American Constitution -- Mark Peterson
from Everyday Anarchism
In this episode of Radicalism in the American Revolution, Historian Mark Peterson joins me to discuss his new book The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution: A Thousand-Year History. We discuss the way the constitution emerged from a long British tradition, Thomas Jefferson's ironic place in American imperialism, and the new understanding of the constitution as a mere piece of paper which threatens to render it irrelevant.Here's the link to the book: https://flyleafbooks.com/book/9780691180014
