Seldom in the history of this nation has it been so challenged. One senses divisions all around. This book addresses what civics classes can do about this conflict. To be federated means to be in a partnership, as the nation's Constitution sets up. Yet in the nation's recent past, it has drifted from a thinking that supports that partnership to one that has bought into an extreme individualism. No, the nation does not need to revert to an outmoded sense of partnership but evoke a newer sense - a liberated federalism - that respects the dignity of all and seeks the communal bonds that seem to be so sorely missing. This book helps by looking at three contemporary challenges: the opioid crisis, tort law, and the loss of jobs in what used to be the manufacturing areas of the nation. Civics classes need to turn a page; here's how.
