Erwin Chemerinsky on the need for a new US constitution: Our democracy is at grave risk'
Briefly

The US constitution is not fit for purpose. Created in 1787, it was designed to protect smaller states and enslaved people's interests, establishing inequalities.
Chemerinsky reflects on the dysfunction of American government and the increasing loss of public confidence, posing a dire threat to the future of American democracy.
In his book 'No Democracy Lasts Forever,' Chemerinsky argues that much of the current political dysfunction stems from the structural issues within the Constitution.
His analysis underscores how enduring elements like the electoral college and equal representation for senators create barriers to achieving true political equality.
