1A Remaking America: Is It Time For A 28th Constitutional Amendment?
America wouldn't be the country it is today without its 27 constitutional amendments.It was these later additions to the founding document that ended slavery in the U.S. and granted Americans the right to bear arms. It also protected the right for a show like ours to exist—and gave us our name—1A, after the First Amendment. But the last time a new one was added was 30 years ago. We hear from the person who got the 27th amendment ratified. And discuss the push to add a 28th.This conversation is part of our Remaking America collaboration with six public radio stations around the country. Remaking America is funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions?
