This is the eighth episode of our ongoing series breaking down the U.S. Constitution.
This month, Roman and Elizabeth discuss <a href="https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript#5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Article V</a>, which lays out the process to amend the Constitution.
Then, Jill Lepore lays out her thesis that the Constitution is truly meant to be amended, explains why Article V amendments have become functionally impossible, and tells some fascinating stories about the people who have championed amendments.
