As Move to Amend supporters prepare for the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and our upcoming Week of Action, one thing is clear: the movement for authentic self-government is alive and growing in communities across the country.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, Americans gathered in town squares, churches, taverns, and public spaces to debate a revolutionary idea: that people have the right to govern themselves.

Today, we are still having that conversation.

Corporations spend billions influencing elections. Billionaires dominate public policy. Corporate lobbyists write legislation. Private interests shape everything from healthcare and housing to war, climate policy, media, and the economy.

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Move to Amend is inviting supporters across the country to help launch a modern Declaration of Independence from Corporate Rule

In Part 1 of this series, we explored how resistance to concentrated economic power helped spark the American Revolution itself. In Part 2, we examined how corporations gradually acquired constitutional rights that were never mentioned in the Constitution and were never intended by its framers.

Together, those histories reveal an important truth: democracy has never been static.

Throughout American history, ordinary people have repeatedly organized to expand political participation, challenge concentrations of power, and push the Constitution closer to its democratic promise.

Constitutional change is not a rare accident.

It is a recurring feature of American democracy
