The American constitution was written in 1787, but there was a mechanism built in to amend and change the document.
Since 1787 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.

Counterinsurgency, the violent suppression of armed insurrection, is among the dominant kinds of war in contemporary world politics. Often linked to protecting populations and reconstructing legitimate political orders, it has appeared in other times and places in very different forms – and has taken on a range of politics in doing so. How did it arrive at its present form, and what generated these others, along the way?
Spanning several centuries and four detailed case studies, The Counterinsurgent Imagination: A New Intellectual History (Cambridge UP, 2022) unpacks and explores this intellectual history through counterinsurgency manuals. These military theoretical and instructional texts, and the practitioners who produced them, made counterinsurgency possible in practice. By interrogating these processes, this book explains how counter-insurrectionary war eventually took on its late twentieth and early twenty-first century forms. It shows how and why counterinsurgent ideas persist, despite recurring failures.
