Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this original, provocative contribution to the debate over economic inequality, Ganesh Sitaraman argues that a strong and sizable middle class is a prerequisite for America’s constitutional system. For most of Western history, Sitaraman argues, constitutional thinkers assumed economic inequality was inevitable and inescapable—and they designed governments to prevent class divisions from spilling over into class warfare. The American Constitution is different. Compared to Europe and the ancient world, America was a society of almost unprecedented economic equality, and the founding generation saw this equality as essential for the preservation of America’s republic. Over the next two centuries, generations of Americans fought to sustain the economic preconditions for our constitutional system. But today, with economic and political inequality on the rise, Sitaraman says Americans face a choice: Will we accept rising economic inequality and risk oligarchy or will we rebuild the middle class and reclaim our republic? The Crisis of the Middle-Class Constitution is a tour de force of history, philosophy, law, and politics. It makes a compelling case that inequality is more than just a moral or economic problem; it threatens the very core of our constitutional system.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitutional Class Book: Being a Brief Exposition of the Constitution of the United States; Designed for the Use of the Higher Classes in Common Schools The present work is designed to be read and studied by the higher classes in our Common Schools. It has been pre pared ih compliance with a suggestion made to me, that such a work was a desideratum in the common course of the education of American youth. The deserved success of the excellent Class Books of Mr. William Sullivan, which do so much honor to him as a statesman, a scholar, and a moralist, have encouraged me to hope, that the task thus performed, may not be without some public utility. If it shall tend to awaken in the bosoms Of American youth a more warm and devoted attachment to the National Union, and a more deep and firm love of the National Constitution, it will afford me a very sincere gratification, and be an ample compensation for the time, which has necessarily been withdrawn from other pressing avocations, in order to complete it. The plan is the same, which I have adopted in my larger Commentaries. But it became indispensable to write nearly all the work anew, so much was required to give simplicity.
