The National Constitution Center’s Constitution Drafting Project brings together three teams of leading constitutional scholars—team libertarian, team progressive, and team conservative—to draft and present their ideal constitutions. While the constitutions had unique and distinct approaches, they also share some remarkable similarities too. To hear more about the project, listen to next week's episode of We the People. In the meantime, read the constitutions at the link below.
