The book delves into the paradox of the Federal Constitution's idealization despite its flaws, tracing this reverence alongside America's rise to global power. It examines how constitutional veneration has influenced U.S. foreign policy and domestic narratives. The author highlights diverse activist movements—Black, Indigenous, feminist, labor, and immigrant—that envisioned a more equitable constitutional framework. Their often-ignored perspectives challenge the prevailing narrative and provide crucial insights into contemporary struggles with democratic ideals and constitutional guarantees.
