Toward the beginning, Mystal depicts the Constitution as "a document intended to make a society of enduring white male dominance, quickly altered in the edges to take into account what fundamental political privileges white men could be persuaded to share" and its substance as being "scribbled out over a sweat-soaked summer by individuals making deals with real beasts who were attempting to safeguard their freedoms to assault the people held in bondage." He brings up that "A 5-4 decision on the Supreme Court straightforwardly influences the probability of me getting shot by the police while heading to the store. It directly influences whether my children can stroll to the bus station untouched and unafraid of the police driving by." The Constitution is a defective work that critically and reliably should be adjusted and reconsidered to follow through with its hidden guarantees of equity and fairness for all." All obvious, and he utilizes this book to help this contention with clear and straightforward models that are great for attorneys and non-legal advisors the same!
