The United States is currently in the midst of an unprecedented experiment: the challenging journey towards becoming a multiracial democracy, a feat achieved by only a handful of nations throughout history. However, this transition has triggered an authoritarian backlash that poses a severe threat to the very foundations of our political system. Why is democracy facing such grave challenges here while other wealthy and diverse countries seem to thrive in it? And, more importantly, what can we do to protect and preserve it?
Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, known for their bestselling book "How Democracies Die," once again offer a compelling and clear framework to comprehend these tumultuous times. They draw upon a rich array of historical and contemporary examples, spanning from 1930s France to present-day Thailand, to shed light on the reasons and mechanisms behind the erosion of democracy. Moreover, they illuminate how our Constitution makes the United States especially susceptible to internal threats: it inadvertently facilitates minority rule, allowing partisan minorities to consistently obstruct and sometimes dominate popular majorities. In contrast, numerous modern democracies, including Germany, Sweden, Argentina, and New Zealand, have modernized their institutions by eliminating archaic features such as elite upper chambers, indirect elections, and lifelong judicial appointments—areas where the United States lags dangerously behind.
In their eye-opening book, Levitsky and Ziblatt issue a pressing call for political reform. While this endeavor is undeniably daunting, history has shown that America is capable of reinventing itself, most notably during the aftermath of the Civil War and throughout the Progressive Era. Today, we stand at a crucial juncture: the United States will either evolve into a multiracial democracy or risk losing its democratic essence entirely.
