Democracy Awakening with Heather Cox Richardson
Sep 25, 2023
When did the political parties change sides? Is America a Democracy, or a Constitutional Republic? How has America always managed to preserve Democracy as a global symbol, and how can we reclaim some of those Democratic principles? Sharon welcomes back political historian, author, and Professor Heather Cox Richardson, one of our most popular podcast guests of all time, who has a new book out: Democracy Awakening. Taking a different approach to this book from her previous work, Heather answers some of the big picture questions – once and for all – that readers have asked for years, relating directly to America’s current standing as a Democracy.
Special thanks to our guest, Heather Cox Richardson, for joining us today.
