The U.S. Constitution is among the oldest constitutions in the world but also one of the most difficult to amend. Jill Lepore, Harvard professor of history and law, explains why in We the People, the most original history of the Constitution in decades--and an essential companion to her landmark history of the United States, These Truths.Published on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding--the anniversary, too, of the first state constitutions--We the People offers a wholly new history of the Constitution. "One of the Constitution's founding purposes was to prevent change," Lepore writes. "Another was to allow for change without violence." Relying on the extraordinary database she has assembled at the Amendments Project, Lepore recounts centuries of attempts, mostly by ordinary Americans, to realize the promise of the Constitution. Yet nearly all those efforts have failed. Although nearly twelve thousand amendments have been introduced in Congress since 1789, and thousands more have been proposed outside its doors, only twenty-seven have ever been ratified. More troubling, the Constitution has not been meaningfully amended since 1971. Without recourse to amendment, she argues, the risk of political violence rises. So does the risk of constitutional change by presidential or judicial fiat.
Challenging both the Supreme Court's monopoly on constitutional interpretation and the flawed theory of "originalism," Lepore contends in this "gripping and unfamiliar story of our own past" that the philosophy of amendment is foundational to American constitutionalism. The framers never intended for the Constitution to be preserved, like a butterfly, under glass, Lepore argues, but expected that future generations would be forever tinkering with it, hoping to mend America by amending its Constitution through an orderly deliberative and democratic process.
Lepore's remarkable history seeks, too, to rekindle a sense of constitutional possibility. Congressman Jamie Raskin writes that Lepore "has thrown us a lifeline, a way of seeing the Constitution neither as an authoritarian straitjacket nor a foolproof magic amulet but as the arena of fierce, logical, passionate, and often deadly struggle for a more perfect union." At a time when the Constitution's vulnerability is all too evident, and the risk of political violence all too real, We the People, with its shimmering prose and pioneering research, hints at the prospects for a better constitutional future, an amended America.

As I expected,My garage said goodbye to the clutter and my tools are hanging in order.
My garage is clean all of a sudden! I don't want my garage to be cluttered because it makes me irritable. I like that the hooks are divided into upper and lower levels, which makes it easy for me to take out what I want. And the hooks are easy to remove, which makes it easy for me to change the placement of the hooks, and now my tools are set up the way I want them, which is perfect. Finally, the tool rack is suitable for a straight line across the placement, not up and down, which is too waste of space.

Love It!
Love this product! We use these sets for fitness equipment storage at our gyms. Anyway I can order several of the 5.8 inch attachments. We use these for Olympic barbells, and need more of just the 5.8 inch. Tough to purchase an entire set when we only need more of the 5.8 inch. Thank you!

Great product!
This was just as expected. I do wish they were a little longer as you can really only use 2 hooks on a panel due to tools touching each other. The product overall is great! It's sturdy and looks awesome!

Good buy
Size: 21.26in
This one’s a good buy. Great stability during a breezy day. It’s good quality metal, with a good shape helping stability I think. Would’ve given 5 stars if it had 360 wheel turning. I filled with water & 50lbs sand - using a funnel for the sand helped speeding up the sand.

Versitile system, easy to install.
Good system. No more tools leaning against the garage wall and blocking the door sensor.
