The United States Constitution, with Amanda Nelson

In honor of America's 250th birthday, Jeff and Rebecca sit down with historical content creator and political commentator Amanda Nelson for a deep dive into the U.S. Constitution. They talk about what the framers were reacting to when they outlined the foundation of a new government, what the Constitution does and doesn't say about individual rights, and how a concept that is never specifically named in the document has shaped the country ever since.
