U.S. politics today can be defined by extreme dysfunction and polarization. But the founders accounted for a fractured society, and designed our government specifically to handle moments like these. Listen as conservative scholar Yuval Levin discusses his book, American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation―and Could Again, which argues that the U.S. constitutional system is designed to compel us to find common ground and act together — and that the key is for Congress to play its leading role.

Speakers:

* Yuval Levin, Director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute

* Host: Michael Waldman, President, Brennan Center
