Project 28: The Search for Our Next Constitutional Amendment
It has been nearly three decades since the United States Constitution was last updated through ratification of the 27th Amendment. Over this time, trust in democratic institutions has deteriorated and social cohesion has frayed, culminating in an outbreak of political violence in January 2021 that was triggered in part by misinformation surrounding the 2020 General Election.
Together, BridgeTexas and American Promise are exploring the Constitutional dimensions of America’s current trust deficit. Through “Project 28,” we will be confronting the fundamental sources of the problems facing American democracy—such as money in politics, hyperpolarization, and election access and integrity. To address our most challenging issues, we believe that social and political trust must be repaired.
