Crisis in Perception

The Constitution as a System — Courts, Power, and Legitimacy (Audio)


Listen Later

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.

This episode explores The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution by Kevin R. C. Gutzman as a systems-level analysis of how constitutional authority is constructed, expanded, and defended.

By focusing on institutional incentives rather than legal idealism, the episode examines how courts and executives reshape constitutional meaning over time — and why legitimacy narratives are essential to sustaining centralized power.
