Ep. 253 - John Bingham, a founding father for a new America
The United States changed dramatically after the Civil War, and new laws were needed in order to make reconstruction work. Enter John Bingham, a congressman from Ohio, who framed the 14th Amendment. His "Equal Protection Clause" has become the most cited constitutional amendment in history, and represented the very first time the constitution promised to serve all Americans.
