The Constitutional Bind: How Americans Came to Idolize a Document That Fails Them
Thursday, December 3, 2026 | 12:15 PM EDT - 1:30 PM EDT
This program will offer a historical context for considering constitutional law and its role in legal practice. In this book talk, author Aziz Rana will discuss The Constitutional Bind: How Americans Came to Idolize a Document that Fails Them (University of Chicago Press, 2024) and explain how the Constitution—despite its limitations—became so deeply revered and what this reverence has meant domestically and around the world.
