Does the U.S. Constitution still hold up?

The United States Constitution is the cornerstone of American government and society. It was also written a long time ago, and society has changed greatly since then. How does the document hold up? Why do conservatives and progressives read the same words and interpret them very differently at times? Why is it so hard to amend the Constitution, and why are both sides unlikely to change it with a constitutional convention? We asked John Lindros, a lecturer in Business and Constitutional Law at Cabrini University to come on the podcast to talk about why the Constitution hasn't been changed in decades and how well it reflects the reality of life in 21st century America.
