It's instructive to read the full impeachment brief (https://judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/house_trial_brief_final.pdf). They respond to each and every objection about trying Trump, i.e., is it constitutional (yes) and was he "just" exercising "free speech" (no). They don't just quote the Constitution; they also describe in-depth the mind of the Founders when they wrote the impeachment clause through what they wrote in the Federalist Papers, the historical precedents, and what we inherited from English common law. They thoroughly debunk anything and everything Trump's lawyers have come up with.

This is a superb suggestion. It asks us to look at (if not read thoroughly) the primary source: The Article of Impeachment. Reading the Article, I feel like I am reading history as it is made. It is beautifully crafted. It encourages us to "look to the helpers."

My heart thrills with hope.
