The Democracy We Must Keep

"The Democracy We Must Keep" by David O. Stewart explores the foundational ideas behind American democracy, highlighting nine key documents and the perspectives of influential founders like Washington, Jefferson, and Madison. The book examines how these early principles—limiting power, ensuring government accountability, and protecting individual rights—continue to shape the nation today. Timely and accessible, it invites readers to reflect on the importance of safeguarding the democratic ideals that have endured for over 250 years.
