https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/academics/sites/ila/events/Amending-Americas-Unwritten-Constitution/#about_the_conferenceRecent constitutional scholarship reveals renewed interest in how unwritten constitutional norms and conventions underlying U.S. constitutional practice can and do change. This conference aims to advance the field by focusing on theoretical, conceptual, and practical questions concerning what it means to “amend” America’s “unwritten constitution” (including what has been called the “small-c constitution”), how the “unwritten constitution” can be amended if at all, and who the relevant constitutional actors are in catalyzing and concretizing these changes.”
