"""In Keeping the Republic Dennis Hale and Marc Landy provide a full-throated defense of the US Constitution as an elegant and necessary response to the challenges posed by modernity. The limitations the Constitution places on democracy, they argue, allow liberty, equality, and justice to thrive in a large, diverse, modern republic. Hale and Landy trace the intellectual themes that unite the Constitution’s critics and ultimately provide the reader with valuable analytical tools to understand whether policies reinforce or detract from the Constitution’s core purposes. Their insights make an indispensable contribution to our understanding of the Constitution’s role in modern life.""—Emily Pears, author of Cords of Affection: Constructing Constitutional Union in Early American History"
