The timebomb the founding fathers left us
Manage episode 431225571 series 2476722
The US Constitution is a brilliant political document, but it’s far from perfect. This week’s guest, Erwin Chemerinsky, argues that many of today’s threats to democracy are a direct result of compromises made by the Founding Fathers centuries ago. Those mistakes have come back to haunt us, and they might destroy our democracy.
Erwin Chemerinsky’s latest book is No Democracy Lasts Forever.
