Christopher Caldwell, in his extraordinary book The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties, lays out what he calls the New Constitution, one which is utterly detached from the Old Constitution. The New Constitution went into effect on July 2, 1964, when LBJ signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act (“CRA”). In fact, as Caldwell points out, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 opened the door for fundamentally changing virtually every aspect of American life. For many Americans, the ideas that undergird the Old Constitution, such as individual freedom, free speech, limited government and private property, no longer hold sway. America prospered because Madison gave us the Old Constitution, specifically written to rein in the worst excesses of human nature.
