Is democracy a finished product or an ongoing project?
While recent data from the Pew Research Center paints a dark picture of American sentiment, a deeper look reveals a surprising appetite for change. This video explores why the nation's democratic foundations were never meant to be static.
Pew Research Center president Michael Dimock examines the current state of American public opinion. Although recent findings suggest a grim outlook, the data also indicates that citizens are prepared for significant democratic reforms not seen in many decades. Dimock argues that the American founders did not intend to deliver a completed system of government. Instead, they initiated a continuous project that demands every new generation actively work to adapt, reimagine, and renew the democratic process.
