Synopsis

Americans have the best constitutional principles: limited government, the rule of law, and the God-given rights of men and women. Yet what attitudes do the American people hold toward their government today? Chaos, confusion, contempt and choler. The reason Americans feel that way, contends author Patrick J. McGrath, is that our divided structure of government means no one is responsible for the errors that do come along. McGrath says its time to consider the nearly-heretical idea that our structure of government is fundamentally flawed. There is a better way, McGrath contends, one that already works in many other countries the Cabinet or Responsible form of Government. After illustrating the problem and the way to a solution, McGrath presents his proposal for a new Constitution based on a Responsible Government structure combined with American constitutional principles.
