Journalist and best-selling author A.J. Jacobs joins Jon Stewart to discuss his new book “The Year of Living Constitutionally,” which addresses a timely question: What does the Constitution actually say? He shares his insight on the Founding Fathers’ mindsets, how they’d react to the current political system, and living by the legal document word for word, down to writing by quill. #DailyShow #JonStewart #AJJacobs

I am french and I must admit than it is weird to read something positive about our permanent constitutional instability. Not only did we had a lot of constitutions* but our current constitution had a lot of revisions (25, and not only small ones). And we actually also have the kind of "constitutional case law" evolution that Americans have (while not as much). Our constitution is easy to change and has a limited historical importance, so it would certainly be of little usefulness against a power seriously hostile to democracy or individual liberty. Most of our supra-legislative individual right protection come from the European Court of Human Rights (which is another subject altogether). At this point why bother having a constitution: we should do like the british and have legislative supremacy. *more than 5: that just the number of republics, and even then it does not take into account some revolutionary constitutions. Depending on how you count our number of constitutions since 1789 is ~14.

This idea of Original intent should take heavily in account that since it required a Bill of Rights after the Constitution was written that it is meant to be malleable to deal with changes in the future. Not as a Fundamentalists doctrine.🤔

@citricdemon 26 дней назад

I don't really agree with this. Given the difficulty of assembling the original constitutional convention, they had to know how hard ammendments would be. Additionally, given that it is the supreme law of the land, what the document means matters, and what the document means is what they meant it to mean. Not how you understand it, reading it now, but how they understood it when they wrote it. Originalism (which is the actual name, not fundamentalism) is a very strong legal position.

Even if the Framers of the Constitution meant what they meant, and intended their dictat to bind all future generations to their own implicit yet unfounded biases, no true American would accept subjugation to the whimsy of people who thought *owning other people* to be a morally defensible proposition. And since, with their recent decisions the so-called "originalist" justices have shown the true contempt they feel for any matter of "settled law" that skews from their superstitions, I find that "Originalism" basically *is* fundamentalism, and no longer need be taken seriously.

This is the thing that many (not all) right wing and Trump supporters fail to understand or refuse to accept. The constitution should be treated as a religious document.

@njp4321 26 дней назад

Yeah, the real crazy-making part of the whole thing is that they _knew_ and openly acknowledged that. It's why they enshrined the ability to amend the Constitution in the document itself, knowing that what worked in the late 18th century wasn't going to work hundreds of years later. The greatest irony, and the greatest shame to be heaped upon those who promote the doctrine, is that the entire concept of "Constitutional originalism" is completely anathema to the spirit of the nation, as originally conceived.

The main reason that they agreed upon a single executive branch was because of how awful the Articles of Confederation prior were going because of interstate and national foriegn needs. Keep in mind, the US didn't just jump from full independence into constitutional ratification. There were a period of years in between that went so unwell, they needed a revised government. And yes, they were afraid - which is one of the main reasons for the Bill of Rights inclusion (amendments overall). Executive power sense Jackson, in a sense, had always been expanded... but it probably mostly progressed after the Civil War.

He talks about the Founding Fathers not believing partisanship would happen. Given that in the UK at the time, parliament had primarily two parties with some tiny parties that occasionally got involved in coalition building with one of the two major party (much like most of the 20th century in the UK) it makes you realize how naive the Founding Fathers were. Hence why they foolishly created the beginnings of a king position in the president. To what I stated above on the UK's period partisanship. The ruling political parties in the UK when the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution functioned differently. Back then, the ruling body was the House of Lords (as opposed to the House of Commons today) where members came from actual lords (noble families that could be added or removed by the monarch's decree) and the Church of England (also run by the monarchy who selected which priests to add.) Basically, the monarch decided which party ran parliament back then by giving the preferred party an edge in the margins. Still, the monarch needed a very large group of partisans or else the lords and/or church might revolt, much like they did with King John. Anyways, the Founding Fathers should have understood partisanship, but were being blissfully naive.

@danthemankhan 26 дней назад

The Founders weren't a monolith, they disagreed on a lot of ways to interpret the words they themselves had just written. Federalists for example saw no inherent contradiction between the First Amendment and jailing people for criticizing the government during a period of undeclared war. Even criticizing aspects of the government unrelated to the prosecution of the war.

The US had always restricted the right of citizens to own/sell military grade weaponry. It's why you can't own/buy/sell bombs, armed fighter jets, atomic weapons, live tanks, and a host of others.
