In \u003ci\u003eThe Bill of Obligations\u003c\/i\u003e, bestselling author Richard Haass argues that, to solve our climate of division and safeguard our democracy, the very idea of citizenship must be revised and expanded. The Bill of Rights is at the center of our Constitution, yet the most intractable conflicts often emerge from cases that, as former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer pointed out, \"are not about right versus wrong. They are about right versus right.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere is a way forward: to place obligations on the same footing as rights. The ten obligations that Haass introduces here reenvision what it means to be an American citizen, to commit to our fellow citizens and counter the growing apathy, anger, and violence that threaten us all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough an expert blend of civics, history, and political analysis, this book illuminates how Americans across the political spectrum can rediscover how to contribute to and reshape this country's future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Richard Haass \u003c\/b\u003eis president of the nonpartisan Council on Foreign Relations.
