A conversation was framed…
The Reconstitution began as a thought experiment:
If you put a group of open-minded and creatively pragmatic thinkers in a room and asked them ten fundamental questions to frame a series of amendments to the United States Constitution, what would result?
…and a document was drafted.
Over the course of two years of feracious conversation with unimaginable current events raging in the background, we drafted a 30-page document and a vision of reinvigorating American politics with renewed faith in its own ingenuity.
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civil society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
- Thomas Jefferson (July 12, 1816)
