You the PeopleA Republic — If You Can Keep It

About the Book

It started with a question no one could answer: "What is citizenship?" That question sent Charles Heberle searching — and what he found became a program to help people do the job that is theirs to do. Because history is blunt about it: if the people don't do that job, the democracy goes away.

Across 19 chapters, You the People walks from "what is a citizen, anyway?" through the story of democracy, the real founding document, the U.S. Constitution, the power problem — and what only you can do about it. It's plain-spoken, it's urgent, and it ends not with despair but with a suggested approach.
