Law professor Kim Wehle tells NPR’s Morning Edition that she originally had a contract to write an academic tome about the Constitution – and then she decided it was much more important for laypeople to understand our founding document. "I we allow the government to consolidate power in one branch, one man, one party, then our individual rights break down,” she says. “So it’s that message that I think is often lost in the day-to-day discourse about whatever that latest tree that’s on fire in the forest. I like to focus on the forest.“
