About this episode
<p>This is the ninth episode of our ongoing series breaking down the U.S. Constitution.</p> <p>This month, Roman and Elizabeth discuss <a href="https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript#6" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Article VI</a> and <a href="https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript#7" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">VII</a>, which include some odds and ends like the Debts Clause, the No Religious Test Clause, and the process for ratification. But tucked into Article VI is the all-important Supremacy Clause, which states that the Constitution is the “supreme Law of the Land,” and is probably the most frequently used constitutional law in practice.</p> <p>Roman and Elizabeth are also joined by Dr. Alondra Nelson, a leading expert on AI. She discusses why AI is a challenge to regulate, what to think of the tug of war between the states and the federal government on the topic, and whether she’s optimistic governments will figure this out.</p> <p><a href="https://99percentinvisible.org/constitution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The 99% Invisible Breakdown of the Constitution</a></p> <p><p>Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of 99% Invisible ad-free and a whole week early. <br><br>Start a free trial now on Apple Podcasts or by visiting <a href="http://siriusxm.com/podcastsplus." target="_blank">siriusxm.com/podcastsplus</a>. </p></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
