On this episode of the podcast we look at the Third Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, an amendment once called “the runt piglet” of the constitution by the American Bar Association. In this particularly brief episode we look at why we have a third amendment and why it has never been (and also why it might soon be) challenged in the Supreme Court.

In the second episode of the podcast we look at the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, beginning by examining its origins in our society and then looking at the debates that still surround it today on issues like whether or not guns effectively hold the government in check, whether or not they actually stop violence, the mindset they promote and lastly where to place blame when a shooting occurs.

In the first episode of this podcast we look at the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, beginning by examining its origins in philosophy and its evolution in our society. Then we look at the debates that still surround the first amendment, like hate speech, censorship, school prayer and so on. Lastly, we look at where free speech is going, especially in the context of new technologies and examine how ideas like net neutrality and the right to be forgotten are affecting free speech, for better and worse. Thank you so much for listening!
