Reviews
"Without a public discussion of proposals like this, too many American citizens will be unable to understand the virtues and problems of our Constitution and how it might be improved." -- The New York Times "A fascinating and thought-provoking analysis." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "Some of Mr. Sabato's suggested amendments are quite sensible and, according to a poll he commissioned, quite popular...But other amendments are more extreme...The obvious question is whether America's political system requires such radical surgery. Mr. Sabato would reply: That's for a constitutional convention to decide. Fair enough." -- The Wall Street Journal

Synopsis
"The reader can't help but hold out hope that maybe someday, some of these sweeping changes could actually bring the nation's government out of its intellectual quagmire...his lively, conversational tone and compelling examples make the reader a more than willing student for this updated civics lesson." -- The Hill The political book of the year, from the acclaimed founder and director of the Center for politics at the University of Virginia. A More Perfect Constitution presents creative and dynamic proposals from one of the most visionary and fertile political minds of our time to reinvigorate our Constitution and American governance at a time when such change is urgently needed, given the growing dysfunction and unfairness of our political system . Combining idealism and pragmatism, and with full respect for the original document, Larry Sabato's thought-provoking ideas range from the length of the president's term in office and the number and terms of Supreme Court justices to the vagaries of the antiquated Electoral College, and a compelling call for universal national service-all laced through with the history behind each proposal and the potential impact on the lives of ordinary people. Aware that such changes won't happen easily, but that the original Framers fully expected the Constitution to be regularly revised, Sabato urges us to engage in the debate and discussion his ideas will surely engender. During an election year, no book is more relevant or significant than this., The political book of the year, from the acclaimed founder and director of the Center for politics at the University of Virginia.
