Description

Public frustration with Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court has become increasingly intense, largely due to trying to apply a constitution written in the 18th century to a 21st century nation. It is now time to replace the outdated U.S. Constitution with a new and improved model.

The heart of America’s Constitution is 235 years old, and 19 of its 27 amendments date back more than a century. The last meaningful amendment was adopted over 50 years ago. For generations, federal judges have strained and contorted its wording to decide cases according to changing political goals and outcomes. Recently, especially under the current Supreme Court, justices have interpreted the Constitution differently than the way it had been understood throughout the previous century.

Recent incidents, such as the January 6th insurrection, have revealed critical weaknesses in the Constitution—especially regarding oversight of the presidency—that urgently need correcting. Likewise, Congress has deteriorated into a divisive arena marked by intense partisan battles, where strategic maneuvers and party loyalty overshadow decisions made for America’s advancement, causing gridlock and ineffectiveness.

Reimagining a More Perfect Union: A Better Constitution for Modern America examines the historical foundations of the U.S. Constitution, proposes a comprehensive modern overhaul, clearly explains the proposed dramatic changes, and details a clear, achievable plan for ratification. The proposed Constitution expands fundamental rights and liberties such as explicit protections for privacy and abortion rights; creates an independent Commission responsible for administering all national elections and appointing federal judges; transforms Congress into a single 100-member chamber with strict term limits; eliminates the Electoral College and removes presidential immunity from criminal prosecution; and introduces clear age and service limits for all federal judges, alongside numerous other essential innovations.

No other book provides such a comprehensive revision and modernization of the Constitution, clearly written in accessible language that allows readers of all backgrounds to fully understand and appreciate its importance.
