This chapter explores the plans to create a new statue in Iceland symbolizing the return of the Constitution to the Danish king, as well as the country's escape from bankruptcy amidst the financial crisis. It highlights the president's decision to not sign legislation, leading to referendums where the people decided not to pay the debts, ultimately resulting in Iceland winning the case in court.
Katrín Oddsdóttir is a founding mother of the still-not-ratified Iceland Constitution. In 2012, the people of Iceland told their Parliament to adopt a constitution based on the draft that she and 24 other Icelanders crafted. They had crafted their draft based upon the results from two citizens assemblies. We hear about that history and what it can teach us going forward.
