Description

Among the political issues we struggle with lately have their roots in the USA Constitution.
Husband-and-wife team Cynthia and Sanford Levinson take readers back to the creation of this historic document and discuss how recent problems were first introduced―then they offer conceivable solutions. Think Electoral College, gerrymandering, even the Senate. Many people take these features in our system with no consideration. But they came about through haggling in an overheated room in 1787, and we’re still experiencing the ramifications.
Each chapter in this timely and thoughtful exploration of the Constitution’s creation begins with a story―all but one of them true―that connects immediately back to a section of the document that forms the basis of our society and government. From the award-winning team, Cynthia Levinson, children’s book writer, and Sanford Levinson, constitutional law scholar, Fault Lines in the Constitution will encourage exploration and discussion from old and young readers alike.
