“If constitutionalism-the common respect for the framework of law, and the acceptance of outcomes under due process-fails, or is rejected by significant sections of the society, then the entire framework of American society would collapse as well. It is in this sense that the last remaining ‘exceptionalism’ must persist.
–From “The End of American Exceptionalism” by Daniel Bell, National Affairs, Fall 1975.
