The Battle for Pennsylvania: A Legacy of Democracy and the Future of American Constitutionalism

Hindustan Times  

The battle for the future of American constitutionalism and democracy and the imagination of what the US should represent in the world is being fought in the state where it all began: Pennsylvania. The next American president will preside over the 250th anniversary celebrations of the Declaration of Independence, which was adopted on July 4, 1776, by delegates at the Second Continental Congress, and serves as a foundational document of American nationhood. The 47th American president will also be in the White House during the 240th anniversary of the drafting of the US Constitution, written in 1787, which doesn’t just serve as the basis for governing America but has been a model for democracies elsewhere, despite its egregious foundational contradiction of recognising both equality of men but treating a Black as three-fifth of a person and disregarding women altogether. The state's electoral college votes returned to Democrats, and Harris focused her campaign on winning the majority of votes of all minority communities, to ensure that Trump's inroads among Blacks and Hispanics in particular remain limited.
