书籍简介

在当今的政治中，很难找到共同点。在一个充斥着不可调和的政治观点的社会中，许多人对不断要求妥协的政府制度感到沮丧。越来越多的左右两派都将由此产生的不和归咎于宪法。但宪法不是我们面临的问题；它是解决方案。

保守派学者尤瓦尔·莱文的《美国盟约》将引人入胜的历史与清晰的分析相结合，恢复了宪法的真正天才，并揭示了它如何规划出修复美国断层线的道路。莱文揭示了制定者对政治分歧的精妙把握，展示了宪法在促进建设性分歧、谈判解决争端和在分裂的社会中建立团结方面的非凡力量。莱文对当代政治失灵​​的方式有着清晰的认识，还为改革宪法秩序中出现问题的方面提供了切实可行的解决方案。

《美国盟约》充满希望和洞察力，扎根于我们优秀的政治传统，它颂扬了宪法将多元化社会凝聚在一起的非凡力量，向我们保证，一个不那么分裂的未来就在我们手中。

Common ground is hard to find in today's politics. In a society teeming with irreconcilable political perspectives, many people have grown frustrated under a system of government that constantly demands compromise. More and more on both the right and the left have come to blame the Constitution for the resulting discord. However, the Constitution is not the problem we face; it is the solution.

Blending engaging history with lucid analysis, conservative scholar Yuval Levin's American Covenant recovers the Constitution's true genius and reveals how it charts a path to repairing America's fault lines. Uncovering the framers' sophisticated grasp of political division, Levin showcases the Constitution's exceptional power to facilitate constructive disagreement, negotiate resolutions to disputes, and forge unity in a fractured society. Clear-eyed about the ways that contemporary politics have malfunctioned, Levin also offers practical solutions for reforming those aspects of the constitutional order that have gone awry.

Hopeful, insightful, and rooted in the best of our political tradition, American Covenant celebrates the Constitution's remarkable power to bind together a diverse society, reassuring us that a less divided future is within our grasp.
