Yuval Levin on the Constitution's Role in Bridging Political Divides

In this episode of American Potential, host Jeff Crank sits down with Yuval Levin, Director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute and author of the new book, American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation and Could Again. Levin delves into how the Constitution was designed to manage conflicts and disagreements, creating a system that encourages coalition-building and compromise. He discusses the founders’ vision for a government that limits the power of any one individual or faction, promoting stability and unity despite diverse opinions. Levin also examines the current political climate, exploring how technology and societal trends have driven Americans into ideological echo chambers, undermining constructive disagreement. He emphasizes the importance of reacquainting ourselves with the Constitution’s principles to help navigate modern challenges and foster a more cohesive society. Tune in to gain insights into how a return to constitutional values could pave the way for a more united America.
