The Second Enlightenment: A Constitutional Path for America’s Renewal is both manifesto and textbook, exploring how America can complete the unfinished work of Reconstruction through antifascism, diversity, equity, inclusion, and ecological survival. Drawing on global constitutional models — from Germany’s Basic Law to Ecuador’s Rights of Nature — the book blends history, case studies, and proposed amendment language to chart a new democratic horizon. For students, activists, and policymakers alike, it is a blueprint for re-founding the republic in the 21st century.
