The Democracy Clock: The Complete Series

A complete public record of democratic change—documented, analyzed, and preserved.

The Democracy Clock: The Complete Series brings together the full body of work behind The Democracy Clockproject: the narrative analysis and the complete archival record of governance actions affecting democracy in the United States during the first year of Donald Trump’s second term.

This series is designed for readers who want both the interpretation and the evidence—not summaries without sources, and not raw data without explanation.

What the Complete Series includes

The Democracy Clock (Narrative Volume)

The analytical core of the project. This volume examines democratic change week by week, tracing how executive actions, legislative developments, judicial rulings, and institutional behavior accumulated over time. Rather than focusing on isolated controversies, it shows how democratic pressure builds incrementally—and how systems weaken, adapt, or resist across months.

The Democracy Clock: Event Log (Volumes I & II)

The archival foundation. These volumes document the underlying record of governance actions in chronological order, with dates, sources, and concise explanations of democratic relevance. Together, they preserve the factual record that the narrative volume interprets—ensuring transparency, verifiability, and historical integrity.

Why the series matters

Democratic decline rarely arrives all at once. It emerges through normalization, repetition, and administrative routine. This series was created to capture that process as it happened, not years later through selective memory or retrospective framing.

Taken together, the volumes allow readers to:

• See what happened, week by week

• Understand why it mattered, in context

• Trace patterns over time, not just headlines

• Preserve a verifiable public record for future reference

Who this series is for

• Engaged citizens seeking clarity rather than commentary

• Journalists and researchers who need primary documentation

• Educators and students examining contemporary democratic change

• Policymakers and analysts focused on institutions, norms, and governance

What this series is—and is not

This series is:

• A contemporaneous public record

• A structured method for observing democratic change

• A combination of evidence and analysis

This series is not:

• A news digest

• A partisan argument

• A speculative forecast

It does not argue for a party or ideology. It argues for measurement, accountability, and institutional memory.

About the project

The Democracy Clock project was created to ensure that democratic change—especially incremental change—does not disappear into noise, fatigue, or revisionism. By separating documentation (Event Logs) from interpretation(Narrative), the series preserves both clarity and credibility.
