Christopher Phillips, using the example of the directive by Thomas Jefferson that the U.S. Constitution by revised on a frequent basis, travels across the country and speaks to a myriad group of Americans about re-framing the Constitution. The author's participants include soldiers and pacifists in Berkeley, California who want to make military service mandatory and grade school students in the Southwest who have devised a plan to end personal inheritance and create a national wealth distribution system. Christopher Phillips speaks at Porter Square Books in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
