In it, Roosevelt grappled with the definition of security in a democracy, concluding that “unless there is security here at home, there cannot be lasting peace in the world.” To help ensure that security, he proposed a “Second Bill of Rights”—economic rights that he saw as necessary to political freedom, including a right to education, a right to adequate health care, a right to a home, and a right to protection against destitution. Many of the great legislative achievements of the past eighty years stem from Roosevelt’s vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Second Bill of Rights\u003c\/i\u003e, Cass Sunstein uses this speech as a launching point to show how these rights are vital to the continuing security of our nation. This is an ambitious, sweeping book that argues for a new vision of FDR, of constitutional history, and of our current political scene that has never been more urgent or more relevant.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948886036768,"sku":"9780262553841","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780262553841.jpg?v=1763611584","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/the-second-bill-of-rights","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
