Lecture Topics
- Chapter 5: "Timeline Precedent — The Constitutional Case for Restoring 'We the People'"
- The 27 existing amendments: patterns, precedent, and the political conditions that produced each
- State conventions vs. state legislatures as ratifying bodies — the constitutional text and historical practice
- The book's argument against an Article V convention (the "Convention of States" trap): untested, potentially hijackable, lacks settled procedural law
- The anticipated legal challenges to the 28th Amendment: First Amendment, Takings Clause, vagueness/overbreadth, and the book's responses to each
Reflect & Discuss
Constitutional workshop: Read the full text of the 28th Amendment (Appendix A) alongside the majority opinion in Citizens United. Does Section 1 (corporate personhood limited) actually overturn Citizens United, or does it create new doctrinal problems? Does Section 2 (money is not speech) survive First Amendment scrutiny as an amendment? The book argues "a constitutional amendment cannot violate the Constitution — it becomes part of the Constitution." Is this legally sound? Optional deep-dive challenge: draft your own analysis of one amendment section and share it in Team Chat by Week 8.
