Tyranny of the Minority

Why American Democracy Broke Down and How We Can Fix It

Tyranny of the Minority examines the historical and structural vulnerabilities within the United States political system. The authors argue that minority rule enabled by outdated constitutional mechanisms threatens democratic stability. They analyze how political polarization and institutional friction impede majority governance and social progress. Finally, the book proposes specific constitutional reforms to create a more representative and resilient democracy.
