In this episode, Darina Kulaha sits down with constitutional scholar Aziz Rana to examine why the U.S. Constitution is failing to meet the demands of modern democracy. From Trump’s presidency to judicial overreach, from gerrymandering to political polarization, Aziz lays out the structural flaws and how we might fix them.

Topics include:

• Executive power and the myth of checks and balances

• Electoral dysfunction and the erosion of “one person, one vote”

• National identity and the post–Cold War political vacuum

• The need for democratic reform and grassroots political action

This is a deep dive into the systemic weaknesses of American democracy—and a roadmap to reclaiming it.
