The author proposes a new Constitutional Convention. Enabled by certain key clauses of the Constitution, the federal government has grown into a colossus. The balance of government power has shifted away from the States and the people and is now entrenched in Washington. This institutional trend offends the core principles of the Constitution. Burgeoning debt puts the country at risk, weakens the economy, lowers the standard of living and diminishes the power of the people. The time for an enduring solution is now. A Constitutional Convention called by 33 State Legislatures upon the petition of the people, to amend parts of the Constitution, is the antidote to an encroaching government. This book analyzes the key clauses of the Constitution that should be amended and explains how to achieve that goal by a Petition of the people to the State Legislatures for a Constitutional Convention.
