The American constitution was written in 1788, but there was a mechanism built in to adapt and change the document.
Since 1788 the Constitution has been amended 27 times, most recently in 1992.
The most recent amendment, however, had a path to ratification which was far different than any other of the 26 before it.
Learn more about the 27th amendment and the very circuitous route it took to ratification, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
Crisis? What Crisis? At a time where there are repeated claims of the impending demise of art criticism, The Ends of Art Criticism(Lund Humphries Publishers, 2021) dispel these myths by arguing that the lack of a single dominant voice in criticism is not, as some believe, a weakness, but a strength, allowing previously marginalised voices and new global and political perspectives to come to the fore.
Patricia Bickers speaks with Pierre d’Alancaisez about her time as the editor of Art Monthly, the changing role of art criticism, the politics of speaking and writing about art, the art school, the relationship between artists and critics, the academicisation of critical discourse, the relationship between art history and criticism, and.. the art of the interview.

Giving to good causes is key to maintaining America’s free market system, the head of Philanthropy Roundtable says.
It's not the job of government to meet the needs of all Americans, Elise Westhoff, the organization's president and CEO, says. So “if we have a strong philanthropic sector," Westhoff says, "I think that allows us to really make the argument for why the free market works, and also be able to help people in need.”
Philanthropy Roundtable helps Americans to determine how to give back to their communities and country in a way that will further freedom and promote their values.
In an age when many on the political left are using philanthropy to promote a woke agenda, it is critical for conservative to invest in organizations and causes that will leave a lasting legacy, Westhoff says.
Westhoff joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why philanthropy is so important to America’s future.
