We the People: A Progressive Reading of the Constitution for the Twenty-First Century

This comprehensive guidebook by Erwin Chemerinsky, a renowned legal scholar and dean of University of California Berkeley, offers a progressive vision for the US Constitution that protects the rights of all people.

With a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, this book provides a much-needed roadmap for defending civil liberties and advancing a progressive agenda.

Through a detailed analysis of the Constitution's text and history, Chemerinsky exposes how conservatives are using the document to advance their own interests and undermine individual rights.

But rather than simply criticizing these efforts, this book offers a positive vision for the Constitution that prioritizes liberty, justice, and equality for all.

With a focus on the Preamble's promise of "liberty and justice for all," Chemerinsky shows how a progressive reading of the Constitution can lead us forward in our fight for democratic rule, effective government, and social justice.

This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of civil liberties and the role of the Constitution in shaping American society.
