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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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":"PRH India","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46461644832919,"sku":"9780262553841","price":4650.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262553841.webp?v=1769307331","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-second-bill-of-rights-fdrs-constitutional-vision-and-why-we-need-it-today-with-a-new-preface-by-the-author-9780262553841","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
