A More or Less Perfect Union concludes with episode three, "Our Constitution at Risk," which shows how the Constitution is under pressure today and how, through action or inaction, all three branches of government are contributing to the problem. Judge Ginsburg asks: Are we ceding our rights so gradually that we don't even know it is happening? Topics explored include affirmative action, racial profiling, the commerce clause, eminent domain, executive orders, treaties and executive agreements, illuminated through interviews with the descendants of Plessy v. Ferguson, with constitutional experts, local business owners, and others. Judge Ginsburg concludes, "The great safeguard of liberty is a government of laws and not of men. Our Constitution creates that government, but it works only if 'we the people' know the Constitution and protect it."
