Episode description

The provided text excerpts from “Constitutions page.pdf” explore the nature and function of constitutions in the United States, particularly differentiating between state and federal constitutions. It emphasizes that constitutions define and limit governmental power, protecting pre-existing citizen rights, rather than creating them. The text details the amendment process, noting that not all constitutional elements are amendable and that amendments have varying scopes of application. Finally, it addresses the limited suspension of constitutional rights (specifically habeas corpus) permissible during wartime, contrasting this with the enduring protection of pre-existing rights.
