American Covenant should be seen as a key resource for a growing movement. Levin has beautifully described what makes our form of government so exceptional, and provided a realistic assessment of the challenges facing it. He eschews the tiresome partisanship all too common in public discourse today, and people on both sides of the aisle can learn much from his wisdom.
Ultimately, the Constitution only works if citizens are willing to do the business of self-government. Levin’s book will be an encouragement to many laboring to restore our institutions. There is no better way to celebrate Constitution Day than by picking it up, reading it, and finding new ways to join in the extraordinary “American Covenant” it describes.
