The essays critically analyze the U.S. Constitution, arguing it serves as a tool for elites to safeguard capitalism rather than promote democracy. Authored by 55 wealthy white men, the Constitution is portrayed as a sacred text steeped in myth, with many Americans unaware of its actual content. The author contends that social movements' reliance on the Constitution for justice is misguided, as its inherent checks and balances hinder progress on vital issues like labor rights and climate change, revealing that the system functions as intended.
