It amazes me how so closely some of our focuses track. Just last night I starting getting into the fact that America is a multi-constitutional political entity and how the excessive focus on the Federal constitution comes at a cost to State constitutions.
Your essay and its State level focus immediately brought to mind Kansas where recent news reporting reveals efforts to ban Trans persons from self-identifying on the drivers licenses and requiring birth certificate sex identification be lifetime established.
I appreciate that connection. The state-level constitutional layer is often where the operational shifts happen first — licensing, voter rolls, identity records.
The federal narrative draws attention, but the state implementation is where the architecture hardens.
