NOTES

The nation is suffering from debilitating and polarizing partisanship. Conservative and Liberal factions want more power for themselves and seek to deprive their political opponents of power. The rancor of modern political debate reflects a growing failure of basic governance. Restoring balance, compromise and rationality to the U.S. government can be permanently achieved only by making revisions to the Constitution via a new constitutional convention (or convention of states), as provided by Article 5 of the Constitution. This book explains why a new constitutional convention is likely the only way to make lasting repairs to the government, intended to mend modern partisan divides. It also describes how the country got to this inflection point, is a practical manual for organizing and running a new constitutional convention, and offers 25 specific proposals for constitutional amendments that could repair the frayed fabric of our Republic
