Episode 19: "We the People" - Article I of the US Constitution

We’re going to review the Constitution like we did the Declaration of Independence last summer: I’ll read a little, talk a little, read a little more. The objective is to do something that many of us probably haven’t done since 8th Grade, which is read through the entire US Constitution. My hope is that in reading through this extraordinary document we can: Understand the major forms and functions of the federal government Better evaluate what is working and what isn’t working in our current political moment Discover that despite all the many flaws, there’s still a solid theory of government and human behavior behind this document As always, my hope is that in a polarized time, we’ll find embedded in the words and ideas here that there is more that unites us than divides us.
