Constitutional
With the writing of the Constitution in 1787, the framers set out a young nation’s highest ideals. And ever since, we’ve been fighting over it — what is in it and what was left out. At the heart of these arguments is the story of America. As a follow-up to the popular Washington Post podcast “Presidential,” reporter Lillian Cunningham returns with this series exploring the Constitution and the people who framed and reframed it — revolutionaries, abolitionists, suffragists, teetotalers, protesters, justices, presidents – in the ongoing struggle to form a more perfect union across a vast and diverse land.

The Constitution has 27 amendments. This podcast comes the closest to answering the question-What were the arguments that led to some amendments being passed and some not. I wish there was a separate podcast honoring each of these changes. Also why was the 27th amendment allowed to pass in 1992 after being proposed in 1789, yet the Equal Rights Amendment failed because it wasn’t passed in a certain length of time? Thanks for the knowledge
Lily’s podcasts unpack essential history

I listened to my first Presidential podcast at the suggestion of my 20-something daughter. I then listened to all of the Presidential podcasts. The depth of research and accessible presentation satisfied my curiosity and kept me feeling balanced through the tumultuous last several years. Recently I saw a play about the Constitution which left me very unsatisfied. I remembered that Lily was going to make Constitutional. Again, the depth of research and accessible presentation is outstanding. I now have a real interest and connection with the US Constitution. Great job!!

So much valuable information for all US citizens to know and others in the world who thrive on knowledge. Have shared this with everyone I know as I’m not sure everyone paid attention in civics/Amer. History classes. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.
Thank you

My only regret is that it’s taken me this long to find this fabulous resource of pertinent information. Curious how those who fear CRT might feel if they bothered to open their minds. Curious why THESE landmark cases aren’t taught. They will be now!! Thank you!!
