America’s long-held democratic principles are under threat by the far right, and yet too many liberals remain reluctant to rebrand and wrap themselves in the Constitution and its amendments. But it’s those texts themselves, and their historical context, that can save the very liberal governance that those documents prescribe—if only the left would learn to embrace and reframe them for the better of the nation. This is an existential struggle, and doing nothing is not an option.
