Resumen:
The Genius of America: How the Constitution Saved Our Country--and Why It Can Again. The United States is the longest-running democracy in history. While over a hundred countries around the world have used our Constitution as their model, Americans are growing frustrated with gridlock, partisan politics, and special interest. In our impatience for results, we have lost sight of what the framers forged - a pragmatic document that channels self-interest into productive consensus. Veteran journalist Michael Oreskes and legal scholar Eric Lane make a passionate plea to restore our "Constitutional Conscience." |
