AJ Jacobs on His Year of Living Constitutionally (Muskets and Tricorne Hats Included)

Об эпизоде

There have been few changes and additions to the United States Constitution since it was ratified in 1788, despite life being wildly different now a few centuries later. To really put the document into a modern perspective, author AJ Jacobs decided to literally live by the Constitution for a full year and documented the experience in his new book The Year of Living Constitutionally. In today’s episode, AJ spoke with Ryan about his inspiration for the book,  the contradictions of the Founding Fathers, and the evolution of Presidential power. AJ Jacobs is a New York Times Bestselling author, journalist, lecturer, host of The Puzzler podcast, and self-proclaimed “human guinea pig”.
