Yesterday we asked our listeners for their take on the framing of the new Egyptian constitution. If you were amending the constitution, what would you make sure was in it? What’s the most important part of the U.S. constitution? Lots of our listeners responded both with their favorite lines from the American constitution, as well as ideas for language they would use while ammending or starting over.
A listener from Mich. texted the following response:
The rights of the people to receive habitable housing and proper medical care shall be deemed fundamental human rights under this Constitution.
