¿Qué diablos dice realmente la Constitucion? [OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say?] : Un análisis nada tedioso de cómo debería funcionar nuestra democracia

The Constitution is America’s instruction manual. Think of it as our “Terms and Conditions,” because like other terms and conditions most of us don’t know what the fuck is in it. Only 39 percent of American adults can name the 3 branches of government despite their being outlined in the Constitution’s first 3 articles. It’s weird that a country run by “the People” is full of people who don’t know how it runs. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but it seems convenient—for some—that most of us are in the dark. If we don’t know how our government works, it’s hard for us to hold our elected leaders accountable. In a way, our ignorance is their permanence and also JUST KIDDING, I AM A CONSPIRACY THEORIST. IT’S A CONSPIRACY. Looking at our education system today, I don’t really get why most schools shoehorn “how government works” into U.S. history or social studies. It feels like a class that deserves exclusive focus. Growing up I remember nodding along to the names of our founders, the dates of pivotal events, and the stories of how we came to be. They’re all interesting to an extent, but I also felt like we were BOMBARDED BY HISTORY. Teachers were SO PUMPED about America’s beginnings that the actual info on how it functions was lost. Often times I just wanted someone to say, “Here’s how our government works, and here’s how you can affect it.” ¿Sabes lo que REALMENTE dice la Constitución?Este comentario ingenioso y altamente relevante de nuestro documento fundacional es la guía de cómo funciona realmente nuestro gobierno (o se supone que debe funcionar).Escrito por el sabio político y veterano del entretenimiento, Ben Sheehan, y verificado por expertos en el campo del derecho constitucional, ¿Qué diablos dice realmente la Constitución? es una guía entretenida y accesible que explica lo que realmente establece la Constitución de los Estados Unidos.Con notas claras y gráficos sobre todo, desde los poderes presidenciales hasta las nominaciones de la Corte Suprema hasta las lagunas ocultas, Sheehan nos guía a través de toda la Constitución desde su preámbulo hasta su enmienda final (con una sección adicional sobre la Declaración de la Independencia).
