The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic

Interesting book that proposes a number of constitutional amendments designed to improve the US, at least in the author's opinion. In my opinion each of the amendments has some merit and worth a deeper discussion. The author tends to base most of his arguments upon the "original intent" of the founders. This is fine as far as it goes and the author does go the extra effort to show how their ideas are still relevant. I still wish more discussion was included on other reasons that these amendments make sense. If you are predisposed to the conservative side of the political spectrum, you'll probably enjoy this book, if you are on the liberal side--it probably won't be convincing enough. ( )

More readable than Ameritopia yet not quite as impressionable as Liberty And Tyranny, this one is an outstanding and completely factual look at how our government, emphasis on the federal level, has engaged in subverting, dismantling, and rewriting the Constitution to infinitely increase federal powers to the detriment of the states and the American people. Levin has put forth an entire list of intelligent and well thought out amendments that would go a long way to diminishing the federal government's powers and returning power to the states and our citizens. Truly a book for our times...I would recommend it to ANY U.S. citizen. ( )
