Underproofed. Dense without being substantial.
Summary
The article discusses the removal of Sections 9 and 10 (which cover habeas corpus, bills of attainder, ex post facto laws, and limits on state powers) from the Constitution of the United States website. It argues this removal threatens fundamental legal protections and uses examples of how financial dependency in marriage and specialized trades can disempower individuals, linking these to broader concerns about constitutional rights being eroded.
