What happens when the contours of a constitutional democracy start to change? What are the most important warning signs and red lines? How can we tell the difference, and what are the steps that can strengthen, rather than weaken, a society’s democratic trajectory when under stress? This conversation will explore recent turns toward authoritarianism and other challenges for constitutional forms of government and identify key lessons.
