We the People

The Constitution belongs to "we the people," and collectively we can make it work for us, argues a Columbia Law School professor. 

In an essay in The New York Times, Kate Andrias writes, "The Constitution’s meaning is not the Supreme Court’s alone to define. It belongs to 'we the people.' 

"And when we organize collectively, we can change it, even without ratifying formal amendments. The text, structure and history of the Constitution already contain broad commitments to democracy, equal protection and liberty. Collective mobilization can make those promises real."
