Constitution Cafe

"Constitution Cafe" 2011 Christopher Phillips
Here are thoughts on the first 1/4 of the book. More thoughts will supplant these.

Thomas Jefferson thought that the Constitution should be rewritten, if needed, every twenty or so years. Phillips wanders around and talks to many average people about what that rewriting might be. In the process he lays out much of the history and content of the Constitution and the Declaration. Fascinating, especially for someone like me who was much more ignorant about both the Declaration and the Constitution than I realized I was. Well worth the read.
