pAmericans perceive the many political dilemmas in our society and corruption in our government, but few understand the causes of these problems. After explaining the constitutional roots of declining governing capacity in our federal system, this book sets out a comprehensive agenda of 25 amendments that can attract wide support across the political spectrum. The top 10 proposals include reforms to make elections more competitive, reliable, and fair, such as ranked choice voting instant runoffs semi-open primary races with fixed dates rotating among all states an anti-gerrymandering formula to make congressional elections more competitive improved access to the polls through a national voter registry and voter rights limits to campaign donations and political advertising. ppInstead of considering them piecemeal, we should understand how the needed amendments form a systemic overhaul that includes major improvements to the House and Senate. This requires a ban on filibusters, creative ways to fix unequal representation in the House of Representatives, and restoring popular access to legislators.
