Amend, amend, amend. At the end of this book, that's all that I could really think of. Amendment. Throughout the work, almost every other page elicited a "what the fuck..." due to some unforeseen consequence of a document written by white male slaveholders in the 1700s or an action taken by someone to (in their view) adhere to the Constitution. Amend, amend, amend. Jill Lepore mentions it repeatedly throughout the book, what the founding fathers intended as a release valve for the pressure that builds as democracy grows and ideals clash. Amendment. A check on the Constitution and the dead men who wrote it, who stated that no one should be held to a doctrine that they had no part of creating. Amend, amend, amend. The Constitution is a alive, and meant to be treated as such. Amendment. I hope every American can read this book and see what's wrong with our system of government today and what we as a people can do to mend it. Amend, amend, amend!
