このコンテンツについて

The Supreme Court and our Constitution are much in the news today, and with good reason. Progressives are deeply disturbed as a new conservative majority on the Supreme Court moves to reverse long-standing progressive precedents like Roe v. Wade, while conservatives remain keenly aware that their recent gains could easily be wiped away by a shift in political fortunes. This all raises a deeper issue - why is the Supreme Court deciding so many momentous issues? Regardless of your political persuasion, how you would vote on the following proposition:

"It is proposed that an unelected permanent committee of five elite lawyers have the power to amend the Constitution any time that, in their sole opinion, they feel it needs to be updated."

Why it is, in a democracy, that a single Supreme Court justice can decide on the meaning of our Constitution for over 300 million Americans – even though our Constitution begins with the words WE THE PEOPLE? Do you remember the last time the meaning of the Constitution was decided by the deliberative democratic method the Framers intended – amendment?

Beyond judicial activism, be it progressive or conservative, after two centuries might we see the need for improvements such as mandating a balanced budget, electing our President by majority vote, or imposing term limits on Congress and the Supreme Court? You may or may not support these reforms, but shouldn't it at least be possible to actually consider them rather than surrender to the effective impossibility of amending our Constitution?

Are We The People? shows how we, the People, can take back control of our Constitution from Congress and the Supreme Court. By enabling the states to directly initiate amendment proposals and other careful reforms, the “Amendment Amendment” presented in this short book will revive the ultimate power the Framers gave us by reforming the amendment process to return control of our Constitution and our government to we, the American People.
