The US Constitution that cannot be changed

On By C86 Team

How our inability to change America’s most important document is distorting our politics and government. When the United States Constitution was written in 1787, it was an astonishing political novelty, even in an era of constitution-making. Before the Constitutional Convention, James Madison did a study of “ancient and modern confederations,” but written constitutions were so new that he had almost none to read. Also, no one had any idea how long a written constitution would take, or could or should take. Thomas Jefferson thought nineteen years could be about right. He was not far wrong: all over the world, writtenRead News

Scientists once discovered new virus strains only after an outbreak had already occurred, but now they have been able to use sewage samples to predict outbreaks in advance. Not everyone saw the speed of this progress in a positive light: the belief that vaccinesRead News
