The Democracy We Never Had: Aziz Rana
Category: Government & Organizations
Duration: 01:05:35
Publish Date: 2025-04-17 09:00:00
Description:

We discuss rethinking the Constitution as a way to reimagine democracy. In addition, we examine the role of constitutionalism in exporting the principles of democracy as the underpinning of American imperialism.

 

Aziz’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

  1. Join a union or a party formation or a tenants’ association in your community

  2. Get involved in shaping the terms institutions that serve as meaningful checks 

 

Aziz Rana is professor of law at Boston College and the author of The Constitutional Bind: How Americans Came to Idolize a Document That Fails Them and The Two Faces of American Freedom.
