549: Associative Propaganda

Constitution Shortening, AP History Prep, Amsco Publications

A preparatory document for AP US History from Amsco Publications is criticized for "shortening" the Bill of Rights. Specifically, the Second Amendment is summarized as "The people have the right to keep and bear arms in a state militia," which the hosts argue fundamentally changes its meaning. They identify the author as John J. Newman and question the academic standards of such preparatory materials.
