| book description |

The American Constitution has become a threat to American democracy. Due to its inherent flaws Erwin Chemerinsky, has concluded that the nearly 250-year-old founding document can no longer hold. One might expect that amending the Constitution would solve the problem, yet only fifteen of the 11,848 amendments proposed since 1789 have passed. Chemerinsky contends that without major changes, the Constitution is beyond redemption in that it has created a government that can no longer deal with the urgent issues that threaten America and the world. Despite these troubles, Chemerinsky looks to the past and finds hope that change can happen. Political Armageddon can be avoided, Chemerinsky writes, if the Constitution is rewritten from start to finish.
