But is it? In an erudite and brilliant evaluation of the current state of our government, noted constitutional scholar Burt Neuborne administers a stress test to democracy and concludes that our unprecedented sets of constitutional protections, all endorsed by both major parties, stand between us and an authoritarian federal regime: namely the division of powers between the three branches, the rights reserved to the states, and the Bill of Rights.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNeuborne parses the genius of our constitutional system and the ways its built-in resilience will ultimately survive current attempts to dismantle it. While many important issue areas--women's right to choose, LGBTQ rights, separation of church and state--risk erosion, Neuborne argues that the Constitution's inherent defense mechanisms can buy us time. But only an active citizenry will enable us to defend our cherished rights and protections, fulfilling Ben Franklin's charge to keep our republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Burt Neuborne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1620973588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620973585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/09\/2019","brand":"Burt Neuborne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987956793599,"sku":"9781620973585","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a80eb972-0244-4c71-9db8-013ea163db45.jpg?v=1683291813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/when-at-times-the-mob-burt-neuborne-9781620973585","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
