The U.S. Constitution

Peter Sagal, host of NPR’s "Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!" travels across the country to find out where the U.S. Constitution lives, how it works and how it doesn’t… how it unites us as a nation and how it has nearly torn us apart. The four-part series premiered in May 2013.

This chronologically arranged, comprehensive series covers key events leading up to and following the creation of the U.S. Constitution. 47 segments show how this document has protected the American people from the abuses of power and tyranny.

This three-part documentary discusses the creation of the Constitution and explores the protection of individuals’ rights (Gideon v. Wainwright) and checks and balances (Youngstown v. Sawyer).
