AJ Jacobs spent a year living by the original text of the Constitution - carrying an 18th-century musket around the Upper West Side, writing with a quill pen, voting out loud at his polling place, and quartering a soldier in his apartment. He and Srini work through what the founders actually meant by free speech, privacy, voting, guns, and the Supreme Court, and how far those words have had to stretch since. The thread running through it is Ben Franklin's half-carved sun on George Washington's chair: whether democracy is rising or setting isn't fixed, and Jacobs argues it comes down to whether people stay engaged.
