The New American Social Compact: Rights and Responsibilities in the Twenty-first Century

The New American Social Compact examines the need to redefine the social compact in twenty-first-century America. Grant explores the two components of this compact-the rights and obligations of citizenship-as well as what she sees as the four substantive areas that are critical to realizing a new social compact in America. Grant proposes a new social compact that would honor the expansion of civil, political, and social rights in America and would integrate these rights within a new civic procedural ethos, clarifying our obligations to each other, future generations, other nations, and other species.
