Farewell | America's Written Constitution with Akhil Reed Amar

Akhil Reed Amar closes the course on the written Constitution and asks one favor of students who will not continue: watch a single lecture from the sequel, which doubles as a conclusion to this one. Having walked the text from the Preamble through Article VII and all twenty-seven amendments, Amar previews what the second course adds: a set of tools and techniques for going beneath, beyond, and behind the words while staying faithful to them. For anyone stopping here, he points to the sequel's final lecture, posted as a bonus, which sums up both halves.
