The Second Constitutional Convention: How The American People Can Take Back Their Government

This book explains how the American people can use a little-known section of the Constitution -- and the communicative power of the Internet -- to organize a federal constitutional convention. It would be the nation's first such convention since the Constitution was written in 1787.

At a time when pepole are deeply cynical about politics, a convention could propose amendments dealing with a variety of urgent issues. The author creatively demonstrates that rather than just be discouraged about politics, Americans can improve the Constitution and make their government more accountable. He proposes 10 amendments for a convention to consider, some of which will be very controversial.
