Tyranny Of The Minority by Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt

How the Left and Right Are Undermining Democracy in America

The book discusses how certain constitutional elements enable minority rule, contrasting the U.S. with other democracies that have reformed outdated political structures. Levitsky and Ziblatt emphasize the urgency of reforming these institutions to preserve democracy, drawing parallels with past transformative periods in American history.
