Description
On November 9, 2016, many Americans feared that their democracy was on the verge of collapse. But is it? In an erudite and brilliant evaluation of the current state of the US government, noted constitutional scholar Burt Neuborne administers a stress test to democracy and concludes that its unprecedented sets of constitutional protections, all endorsed by both major parties, stand between America and an authoritarian federal regime fronted by Donald Trump.
