The Fragility Of Constitutional Democracy, Yasmin Dawood
The Fragility Of Constitutional Democracy, Yasmin Dawood
Maryland Law Review
Is the survival of constitutional democracy in America at serious risk?

In light of these fears, it is worth remembering that the authors of The Federalist Papers were notably pessimistic about the survival chances of republican government.
