We’re in a moment of political change. This change often brings with it a reinterpretation of our democratic values. Those values originate with The U.S. Constitution and its 27 amendments. The words in these documents are the foundations of our democracy and the promises made are powerful, like the right to free speech, the right of the people to keep and bear arms and the promise that a person cannot be tried twice for the same crime.

Throughline , NPR’s history podcast, has been exploring the long, fraught history of America’s constitutional amendments in a series called “We the People” and in this episode they bring us some of the stories they’ve uncovered in their reporting.
