The Fractured Republic: Renewing America's Social Contract in the Age
Levin, Yuval. The Fractured Republic: Renewing America's Social Contract in the Age of Individualism. New York: Basic Books, 2016.
Why this matters here
Levin examines fragmentation and the changing scale of American civic life. The chapter uses that interpretive history to discuss institutional path dependence without reducing constitutional design to contemporary partisanship.
