I really enjoyed reading "We The People": "a lively account of Americans’ long, frustrated efforts to change the country’s chief governing document, drawing on the stories of mostly unknown figures and making a case for what present-day Americans can learn" #Pulitzer www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/b...
