Our AI hosts, Claude and Ma, distill Angela's expert notes to provide an accessible and engaging overview of Constitutional Law.

We lay the foundational framework of the US Constitution, exploring the three branches of government, the intricate dance of federalism, and the crucial individual rights that shield you from government overreach.

This episode clarifies judicial power (Article III) by demystifying essential justiciability doctrines – standing, ripeness, mootness, and political questions – ensuring you grasp when courts can (and cannot) hear a case. We then transition to the immense powers of the legislative (Article I) and executive (Article II) branches, from Congress's enumerated powers to the President's foreign policy authority.
Finally, we delve into the core of federalism, including the Supremacy Clause, sovereign immunity, the Dormant Commerce Clause, and crucial individual liberties like due process, equal protection, freedom of speech, religion, and takings. Gain clarity on complex concepts like levels of scrutiny and the state action requirement.
