"This work will become the defining text on progressive constitutionalism — a parallel to Thomas Picketty’s contribution but for all who care deeply about constitutional law. Beautifully written and powerfully argued, this is a masterpiece." --Lawrence Lessig, Harvard Law School, and author of Free Culture Worried about what a super conservative majority on the Supreme Court means for the future of civil liberties? From gun control to reproductive health, a conservative court will reshape the lives of all Americans for decades to come. The time to develop and defend a progressive vision of the U.S. Constitution that protects the rights of all people is now. University of California Berkeley Dean and respected legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky expertly exposes how conservatives are using the Constitution to advance their own agenda that favors business over consumers and employees, and government power over individual rights. But exposure is not enough. Progressives have spent too much of the last forty-five years trying to preserve the legacy of the Warren Court’s most important rulings and reacting to the Republican-dominated Supreme Courts by criticizing their erosion of rights—but have not yet developed a progressive vision for the Constitution itself. Yet, if we just look to the promise of the Preamble—liberty and justice for all—and take seriously its vision, a progressive reading of the Constitution can lead us forward as we continue our fight ensuring democratic rule, effective government, justice, liberty, and equality. Includes the Complete Constitution and Amendments of the United States of America

Climate change is real and there are many natural processes that have caused severe changes over millions of years. Fertile land has transformed into deserts; some dry lands today were at one time under water and many places covered by water currently were dry lands. ‘We the People’ are not the cause of climate change but many of our activities are compromising the natural control processes of the Human Environment Systems: energy production and use; agriculture and land use; deforestation, prolific lifestyles that leave large carbon footprints. The pressure is on governments worldwide to mitigate climate change but ‘We the People’ hold the ace: we use most of energy and consume most of the products of agriculture, and our excesses are fueling demand for even more energy; we fund the energy companies through our stocks and share investments and can moderate their excesses; we elect the politicians and can influence their policies; and, through mass actions, we have surmounted governments in many places or forced changes in policies; we have the formidable weapon of the social media to effect change without stepping out. The Climate Change Mitigation Movement is already in motion but ‘We the People’ also need to moderate our choices and lifestyles in order to move the world to carbon neutrality which is a prerequisite for a sustainable environment.

What would you think if you could be thrown in jail for speaking against the government or printing material to which officials objected? If you could be kept in prison until you told your jailers everything that they wanted to know? If people could come into your home at any time and ransack it to their heart's content? If at your trial you weren't allowed to have a lawyer or subpoena witnesses in your defense? Not so long ago, that's the way that it was, and it could be that way again. We the People is about our rights, what they are, and how they got that way. Succinct and in narrative style, We the People addresses its subject at a popular level. Concentration is on three fundamental rights -- freedom of expression, the right to privacy, and the principle of fair notice and fair hearing during apprehension and trial.
