Krátky popis
On the 250th anniversary of America's founding - a landmark history
of the US Constitution for a troubling new era.The US Constitution
is among the oldest constitutions in the world - and one of the
most difficult to amend. Although nearly twelve thousand amendments
have been proposed since 1789, only twenty-seven have ever been
ratified. Tellingly, the Constitution has not been meaningfully
amended since 1971.Without amendment, the risk of political
violence rises. So does the risk of constitutional change by
presidential power.Leading Harvard historian Jill Lepore captures
the stories of generations of ordinary people who have attempted
everything from abolishing the Electoral College to guaranteeing
environmental rights, hoping to mend their nation. Recounting the
history of America through centuries of efforts to realize the
promise of the Constitution, we witness how nearly all those bids
have failed.We the People is the sweeping account of a struggle,
arguing that the Constitution was never intended to be preserved,
but was expected to be gradually altered.At a time when the risk of
political violence is all too real, it hints at the prospects for a
better, amended America.
