Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a bold case for revolutionizing the United States government to meet the challenges of the 20th century. The author argues that the existing system, designed for a loosely federated nation of independent states, is outdated and incapable of addressing the needs of a modern, industrialized society. The book examines the shortcomings of the current system, including the imbalance of power between the federal government and the states, the lack of direct citizen participation in decision-making, and the excessive influence of special interests. It proposes a sweeping set of reforms to address these issues, including constitutional amendments to establish a national republic, a national credit bank, and a system of direct legislation. The author draws upon historical examples and international best practices to support his arguments. He contends that the principles of democracy, equality, and social justice demand a more responsive and accountable government that empowers citizens and promotes the well-being of all. Ultimately, this book is a passionate call for a fundamental transformation of American democracy, one that will restore power to the people and enable the nation to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
