How Corruption Got This Bad

The Atlantic has published a piece examining how corruption in American government reached its current state, focusing on the Justice Department, the Supreme Court, and the role of the Constitution in constraining or failing to constrain abuse of power. The article argues that institutional safeguards have eroded, and it is drawing attention for its sweeping critique of how the American legal and political system allowed this deterioration to happen.

Why now: Readers are debating concerns about the erosion of rule of law and institutional integrity in the United States government.
