What would America's Constitutions have looked like if each generation wrote its own?The earth belongs...to the living, the dead have neither powers nor rights over it. According to Jefferson each generation should take an active role in endorsing, renouncing, or changing the nation's fundamental law. These famous words, written by Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, reflect Jefferson's lifelong belief that each generation ought to write its own Constitution.
History tells us that Jefferson lost that debate. Perhaps if he were alive today to witness our seething debates over the state of American politics, he would feel vindicated in this belief.Madison's response was that a Constitution must endure over many generations to gain the credibility needed to keep a nation strong and united. But what if he had prevailed?
