For over 250 years the United States of America has pursued the notion of a ”more perfect union” and a government ”of the People, by the People and for the People.” Ideals which countless Americans have defended since our first day of existence. Unlike anything else, the belief in our Constitution defines us as Americans. Yet - unlike any time in our history - the principles laid out by our Founding Fathers seem under attack and the staggering implications of a Constitutional Crisis seem uncomfortably real. Check the Balance is a podcast committed to understanding the threats to our Constitution. But perhaps more importantly Check the Balance is a podcast committed to providing a pragmatic and productive voice during a time of unreason. A touchstone intended to offer the guidance and resources that every American can use to preserve our constitution and democracy.
