Another Supreme Court term is over, and with it comes the annual question: what can anyone actually do about this court? This year, instead of wringing our hands, Slate has an answer: By The People, an introduction to popular constitutionalism, the tradition of Americans shaping what the Constitution means through politics, movements, and elections. Join Amicus hosts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern as they trace the tradition's deep roots, its very modern applications, and the rising tide of people already practicing it. The American people haven't lost this argument. We've just forgotten how to make it. This is the reminder—and the place to start.
