The Federalist: Conservative Books Keep Failing To Offer Real Solutions
Yuval Levin's book, "American Covenant," seeks to explore the U.S. Constitution's role in unifying the nation but ultimately falls short in providing actionable insights for restoring its significance in American politics. While it effectively outlines the Constitution's historical importance, it lacks concrete proposals for addressing current partisan divides.
Levin suggests that civility and compromise could mend the political landscape but fails to engage with the complexities of contemporary ideological divides. His recommendations, such as empowering congressional leaders, are criticized as insufficient. The book serves more as a historical reflection than a guide for practical political reform.
