The U.S. Constitution is one of the most powerful documents in history, but it is also one of the hardest to change. In this episode of Amare Moments, we explore why amending the Constitution is so rare, how that rigidity affects modern democracy, and what happens when the system hits a wall. From the Civil War to January 6th, we dive into major constitutional crises and what they reveal about America's ability—or inability to adapt.
Whether you're into U.S. politics, legal history, or just wondering why the rules feel stuck in the past, this episode breaks it all down—no law degree required.
