Lessons From the Constitution’s Zero Trust Architecture
The Constitution is often read as a charter of powers. It also reads as a system design document built on mistrust, divided authority, and structured friction. Consulting Juris explores constitutional design, criminal process, technology governance, and the institutional conditions that make liberty durable.
