More about the book

The author argues that the US Constitution's flaws are fundamentally responsible for the current crisis in American democracy. Highlighting the rarity of amendments being passed, he suggests that the Constitution's "bad bones" have led to governmental dysfunction and public distrust. Chemerinsky proposes that a new constitutional convention could effectively replace the outdated framework, or alternatively, Americans might consider secessionist ideas to address deep divisions, potentially envisioning a structure similar to the European Union.
