    11/05/2025 07:00 PM 11/05/2025 08:15 PM America/Atikokan Jill Lepore with Jenn White: We The People At a time when many Americans believe the U.S. Constitution to be under threat — but disagree about the nature of that threat — bestselling author and Harvard professor Jill Lepore asks: Can this Constitution be saved? In We the People, her new history of the Constitution, Lepore argues that the Framers never intended for the Constitution to remain untouched, but rather expected that future generations would be forever tinkering with it and improving the machinery of government.

    At a time when many Americans believe the U.S. Constitution to be under threat — but disagree about the nature of that threat — bestselling author and Harvard professor Jill Lepore asks: Can this Constitution be saved? In We the People, her new history of the Constitution, Lepore argues that the Framers never intended for the Constitution to remain untouched, but rather expected that future generations would be forever tinkering with it and improving the machinery of government. Lepore examines the history of our Constitution, as written, as amended and unchanged, and as interpreted and misinterpreted. Are Americans trapped, enthralled, by a Constitution that no longer works? “We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country,” Lincoln said, in the midst of the Civil War. What would it mean for Americans to disenthrall themselves today? This program is generously underwritten by the Robert R. McCormick Foundation.
