Is the Constitution the Moral Document You Think It Is?
We take a look at how one man shook the foundations of American democracy by tearing up the Constitution in a time of deadly peril. Harvard Law professor and Bloomberg columnist Noah Feldman's new book "The Broken Constitution" examines President Lincoln’s thought processes as he rewrote the rulebook and grappled with challenges from both political rivals and passionate abolitionists.
