Oh, my goodness, I started writing a blog post on the Constitution. I quickly found that I will never be able to keep it to blog-post-length.
This is in part because I seriously love the document itself, and partly because I love the language with which it is written.
There are several things I want to touch on. One is the concern/accusation that it is obsolete. Another is that it is too difficult to amend. And yet another is to clarify some misconceptions held in regard to it.
I think these are going to be done in short bursts of research and writing. Otherwise I’ll end up with a full blown book that would be a duplication of efforts published before.
So what is something you’ve always wondered about the Constitution of the United States? I’ll dig it up and toss it out on the table, with any and all legal opinions and challenges, and I’ll add my own understanding and feelings, making sure that you can tell where the research leaves off and my opinion begins.
Where should I begin?
