And we now look like we had this sort of project and ultimately we still had two nagging questions driving us. One was why don't we think about amending the Constitution anymore? And the other was how do prior generations think about amending the Constitution? How did they achieve them?
So that is this book about the history of constitutional amendments that distills some lessons from the past and gives us sort of look at a possible future if we would take a page from the playbook of the series of generations that amended the Constitution.

definitely encourage everyone to check it out it's a very enjoyable read and easy read so perfect for holidays between the semester over the summer or as you are traveling
