Summary

"In the more than two centuries since the US was founded, the rule of law has been tested and compromised in numerous ways: the oppression of Native Americans, slavery, Jim Crow, labor struggles, the treatment of German-Americans in WW I, Japanese-Americans in WW II and radicals after both wars, the civil rights movement, protests against the Vietnam War, and more recently the distortion of the electoral process by money, gerrymandering, and disenfranchisement, and police responses to the Occupy movement and killings of young black man documented by Black Lives Matter. The "war on terror" has posed at least as great a danger"-- Provided by publisher.
