Episode 0 of 21: Study Guide
Over the next six-ish months, I’m going to be putting together a series of entries in which we will read The United States Constitution together. I’ll be reading it in little portions and talking about them, typically one section per episode, under the assumption that people who haven’t read the document have avoided it because it’s dauntingly long. I know that’s not everybody, though. Maybe some people haven’t read it because I haven’t offered to read it out loud to them. Some people, maybe many more people, get frustrated with little snippets and want to hear the whole thing at once. In case either of those is true of you, I have put together this thing I am calling a “Study Guide,” because calling it a “Contingency Offering” sounded too cool and dangerous.Here is a recording of me, reading the whole document, all together:
The transcriptions of the Constitution that I used and that will appear in the individual posts came from the National Archives at this link:
