Yuval Levin, director of social, cultural and constitutional studies at
the American Enterprise Institute and former domestic policy advisor to
President George W. Bush, discusses his new book, American Covenant: How
the Constitution Unified Our Nation--And Could Again. Among the topics:
how we've "forgotten how to disagree;" the concept of republicanism; how
the executive and judiciary took over responsibilities meant by the
Founders for Congress; how weak political parties have led to greater
partisanship, and his proposed remedies, including increasing the size
of the US House of Representatives and using rank choice voting in
primary elections.
