Explore a bold, provocative plan that imagines a unified Americas and a new way to deter war.
This edition presents a proposed constitutional framework that calls for the Sovereign States of North and South America to govern together. It outlines a full political system, including a two-house legislature, a president, a judiciary, and the rules they would follow in peacetime and in war, with the aim of reducing bloodshed and preserving free government.
Readers will see concrete provisions on how representatives are chosen, how bills become law, and how citizens’ rights are protected. The text also wrestles with questions of power, defense, and the balance between state sovereignty and a central authority.
- A detailed blueprint for a bicameral Congress and executive leadership.
- A comprehensive outline of presidential duties, wartime authority, and judicial structure.
- Rules governing elections, impeachment, citizenship, and the distribution of powers.
- Thoughts on defense, foreign policy principles, and how to safeguard liberty.
Ideal for readers of historical political thought, constitutional reform debates, and those curious about provocative visions of peace and governance.
