With so many issues impacting communities across Montana, there's never been a better time to understand the document that shapes our rights as Montanans: the Constitution of the State of Montana.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most unique state constitutions in the nation—exploring how it was written, why it's different, and how it continues to influence everything from individual rights to government accountability today.
Joining me is Montana attorney and constitutional litigator Rylee Sommers-Flanagan, founder of Upper Seven Law, a public-interest law firm dedicated to government accountability, civil rights, and constitutional litigation. A fifth-generation Montanan, Rylee has become one of the state's leading voices on constitutional law, arguing high-profile cases while traveling the state with her Montana Constitution Roadshow to help citizens better understand the rights guaranteed by Montana's Constitution.
Whether you're deeply interested in Montana politics or simply want to better understand the rights that affect your everyday life, this conversation offers valuable historical context, legal insight, and practical understanding of the document that belongs to every Montanan.
