Public exasperation with Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court has intensified, attributable in large part to the application of an 18^th Century Constitution to a 21^st Century society. The time has come to trade the United States Constitution in for a new model.

The core of the Constitution is 235 years old, and 19 of its 27 Amendments are over 100 years old. The last significant Amendment was ratified over 50 years ago. For centuries, federal judges have twisted and mangled the words of the Constitution in applying it to the facts in the cases before them, often to reach a desired political result. Particularly under the current Supreme Court, the justices are now reading the Constitution to mean something different from what justices throughout the 20^th Century have construed the same words to mean.

Recent events have exposed fissures in the Constitution that need to be shored up to prevent a runaway President and another January 6^th insurrection. Congress, too, has devolved into a hyper-partisan battlefield where gamesmanship and party allegiance take priority over the betterment and welfare of our country, resulting in inertia and stagnation.

Reimagining a More Perfect Union: A Better Constitution for Modern America describes the historical context of the Constitution, proposes a long overdue overhaul, explains its dramatic and disruptive changes, and presents an action plan for ratification. The new Constitution expands personal rights and liberties, including the right to privacy and abortion, establishes an independent Commission to administer national elections and appoint federal judges, reconfigures Congress into a single chamber of 100 Members with term limits, eliminates the Electoral College and Presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, and creates age and service limits for all federal judges, among other innovations.

No other book so thoroughly revamps and updates the Constitution in plain language that readers from all backgrounds can readily understand.
