A Republic if We Can Keep It (Paperback)

Paperback. This book is a set of reflections on the foundational principles and purposes of American politics. The chapters apply these ideals to political events, issues, and parties in the early 21st century. Every day American ideals are at issue and we are all charged with advancing them. Politicians occupy and depart the grand stage of the American politics, but citizens are ultimately responsible for perfecting the Union. Elections are key struggles and key pieces of legislation in Congress and in state legislatures are recurrent skirmishes. As citizens we either rise to these challenges and press on to perfect the Union or we fail to keep faith with those who have lain the foundation and have shown the way toward one nation with justice, liberty, equality, and prosperity for all. It is our Republic; we alone can keep it. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
