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. 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aPolitical Theory 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 676 $a342.73029 676 $a342.73029 700 $aDeArmey$b Michael H.$f1944-$01453034 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910760254603321 996 $aThe constitution of the United States$93655489 997 $aUNINA
