Have they forgotten the tradition of social movements striving for equal political and economic rights as expressed in the country's founding ideals? Historian Michael Kazin says these ideals can be used "as both a benchmark against which to measure how far we have fallen short and a means of articulating the Constitution's vision of a more perfect union." Michael Kazin teaches history at Georgetown University and is the author of "What It Took To Win: A History of the Democratic Party."
