From the B2B journalist’s perspective, the first few months of President Trump’s second term have been a whirlwind. From frozen/unfrozen funding to on-again/off-again tariffs to shuttered/unshuttered federal departments, the pace of change has been relentless.

For journalists tasked with delivering clarity amidst the chaos, understanding constitutional law is essential. It provides the framework to evaluate executive actions, discern their implications, and prioritize the stories that matter most to your audience. Without this foundation, brands risk of amplifying confusion — both for your readers and within your industry — by focusing editorial attention on temporary rather than permanent changes, on ephemeral rather than impactful actions.

• A comprehensive primer on constitutional law.
