Bonus: Didier and the Second Amendment

Season 2

This bonus episode accompanies episode 2.3, What's the difference between freedom and liberty?

Our journey working to answer the questions for the show sometimes leads to dialogue, conversations, and side pockets that don't fit directly within the main episode, but are too fascinating not to share. Partway through our conversation with Didier Saillard, he had a question that resulted in a fascinating exchange about constitutions on both sides of the Atlantic.
