You know, obviously you're speaking my language there.
You're tapping into history.
I mean, this is America 250 this year, right?
And the constitution isn't that old, but it sure is fairly close.
We're just going to go ahead and lean into that whole 250 thing.
We've gotten a lot right.
And
You know, the framers, they embraced that this wasn't a perfect union.
They called it a more perfect union.
They realized that they were upgrading, that the Constitution was the 2.0 version of their union from the Articles of Confederation.
That sucked, okay?
And we've continued to improve it from there.
One of the most brilliant things about that document
and about what America is, the American experiment, is this idea of government by the people.
We say that and that trite phrase just gets lost, I think.
It loses its specialness because it just rolls off of our tongue from kindergarten and on.
You know, one of the things I love the most about reading the founder's words is how much they talk about the right of a generation to alter or abolish.
And, you know, that isn't to say that radical answers are always required, but the understanding that is incumbent upon every generation, if you're gonna have government by the people,
that they continue to hold that right.
And I think it really says something about how special this is that for over two centuries, the American people have only chosen to alter.
