With the recent rise in civic engagement and participation, our nation's core principles of freedom, democracy, and liberty are being redefined. While the foundational documents of the United States of America lay out the ideals for this country, many of the rights and freedoms they guaranteed did not apply to all.
As our country moves forward in the 21st century, we have the ability to reimagine a government where “We the People” means all the people. In this series, we will dive into concepts and systems covered in the founding documents, discussing how they have evolved through time and how they continue to impact us today. The United States of America is a work in progress.
