Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Making a New American Constitution explores the grave flaws in the United States Constitution that obstruct reforms urgently needed for national unity and survival; proposes crucial amendments; and shows that a new constitutional convention is essential to achieve them. Today America is an economically and racially highly unequal society. We are now in danger of being governed permanently by a small group of wealthy people (an 'oligarchy') in their own interest. Our middle class is collapsing, and our democracy cannot survive its demise. Large inequities and deteriorating socioeconomic conditions facing poor and middle-class Americans will lead to intractable clashes, weakening or even shattering our union. To avoid such a catastrophe, we must create a new social contract by ensuring that our government is truly fair and firmly committed to creating equal life opportunities and justice for everyone, not just for one elite class or dominant race. But as this book explains, today the Constitution itself has become a serious threat to Abraham Lincoln's vision of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It is blocking reforms that would prevent the collapse of the middle class and create a new social contract. The Constitution is thus a massive obstacle to national cohesion and endurance. The book shows that the Constitution unfairly protects America's wealthy oligarchy. It explores its failed separation of powers and corrosively undemocratic features. The book examines why piecemeal constitutional reforms, such as an amendment to take money out of politics or a balanced budget amendment, will undoubtedly fail. It concludes that Americans have the power to hold a popular convention to renew republican government and avoid permanent authoritarian rule. The book discusses in detail how a popular convention can be held, and presents a reform agenda.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1783, as the Revolutionary War came to a close, Alexander Hamilton resigned in disgust from the Continental Congress after it refused to consider a fundamental reform of the Articles of Confederation. Just four years later, that same government collapsed, and Congress grudgingly agreed to support the 1787 Philadelphia Constitutional Convention, which altered the Articles beyond recognition. What occurred during this remarkably brief interval to cause the Confederation to lose public confidence and inspire Americans to replace it with a dramatically more flexible and powerful government We Have Not a Government is the story of this contentious moment in American history. In George William Van Cleve's book, we encounter a sharply divided America. The Confederation faced massive war debts with virtually no authority to compel its members to pay them. It experienced punishing trade restrictions and strong resistance to American territorial expansion from powerful European governments. Bitter sectional divisions that deadlocked the Continental Congress arose from exploding western settlement. And a deep, long-lasting recession led to sharp controversies and social unrest across the country amid roiling debates over greatly increased taxes, debt relief, and paper money. Van Cleve shows how these remarkable stresses transformed the Confederation into a stalemate government and eventually led previously conflicting states, sections, and interest groups to advocate for a union powerful enough to govern a continental empire. Touching on the stories of a wide-ranging cast of characters--including John Adams, Patrick Henry, Daniel Shays, George Washington, and Thayendanegea--Van Cleve makes clear that it was the Confederation's failures that created a political crisis and led to the 1787 Constitution. Clearly argued and superbly written, We Have Not a Government is a must-read history of this crucial period in our nation's early life.…
