Summary
"This book is one of the most comprehensive and enlightening works on constitutional government I have ever read. Its ultimate aim is to suggest changes in the present constitution of the United States. But in doing so it provides a history of thinking about the nature and significance of constitutions and constitutional government from ancient thinkers, to early modern thinkers, to the founding figures of the US constitution, Adams, Madison, Hamilton, Jefferson, etc. and later thinkers from Franklin to Dewey who influenced the way democracy and constitutional government in the US was understood." --Professor Robert Kane, University of Texas, Austin, USA At this moment of extreme political polarization in the U.S. which has the potential to threaten the very foundations of the state, Professor Michael DeArmey proposes a revised and updated Constitution. This enriched, reborn Constitution retains much of the current Constitution but also seeks to meliorate and indeed resolve entirely many of the seemingly intractable problems in American democracy. The rights of American citizens are revisited and expanded, and for the first time a wholly new Bill of Goods sets out government's role in assisting in the necessities for life. Also new is a Bill of Citizen Duties and Responsibilities. The book contains a careful defense of the proposed changes, including individual chapters focusing on the most controversial topics. Other chapters explore why a constitution is needed and survey the Federalist papers on Constitutional structure. The book also examines the writings of Aristotle, John Adams' Defence, and the correspondence of Madison and Jefferson. Michael H. DeArmey is Moorman Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southern Mississippi, USA.
