The institutional framework of our country is plagued by polarizing politics, leading to a decline in trust in Congress and the Supreme Court. A surge of misinformation and voter suppression is eroding faith in the electoral process, making it challenging to address these issues through conventional means such as winning elections. Gridlock in both the Senate and House, coupled with judicial vetoes, hinders the implementation of legal reforms that majority of Americans support. Constitutional amendments are the only solution that can restore the government's ability to address problems and rebuild trust among citizens.
This book presents a moderate, centrist agenda to achieve this objective, outlining the problems and proposed solutions in accessible language for non-experts. By avoiding political polarization, Davenport proposes 25 procedural amendments that a majority of Americans can consider to rectify the fundamental flaws in our constitutional design. He also advocates for a new national convention called by the states as a potential avenue to break the deadlock and revive the politics of effective compromise.
The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated, as the decline in trust and the inability to address pressing issues threaten the very foundations of our democratic system. By proposing these constitutional amendments and advocating for a national convention, we can work towards a more inclusive and responsive government that represents the interests and aspirations of all Americans.
