Liberty Amendments by Mark R Levin

Liberty Amendments by Mark R Levin

Mark R. Levin has made the case, in numerous bestselling books that the principles undergirding our society and governmental system are unraveling. In The Liberty Amendments, he turns to the founding fathers and the constitution itself for guidance in restoring the American republic.

The delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention and the delegates to each state's ratification convention foresaw a time when the Federal government might breach the Constitution's limits and begin oppressing the people. Agencies such as the IRS and EPA and programs such as Obamacare demonstrate that the Framers' fear was prescient. Therefore, the Framers provided two methods for amending the Constitution. The second was intended for our current circumstances--empowering the states to bypass Congress and call a convention for the purpose of amending the Constitution. Levin argues that we, the people, can avoid a perilous outcome by seeking recourse, using the method called for in the Constitution itself.

The Framers adopted ten constitutional amendments, called the Bill of Rights, that would preserve individual rights and state authority. Levin lays forth eleven specific prescriptions for restoring our founding principles, ones that are consistent with the Framers' design. His proposals--such as term limits for members of Congress and Supreme Court justices and limits on federal taxing and spending--are pure common sense, ideas shared by many. They draw on the wisdom of the Founding Fathers--including James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and numerous lesser-known but crucially important men--in their content and in the method for applying them to the current state of the nation.

Now is the time for the American people to take the first step toward reclaiming what belongs to them. The task is daunting, but it is imperative if we are to be truly free.

Levin is the author of Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, which was a #1 New York Times bestseller for more than three months and sold more than one million copies. He is a nationally syndicated talk-radio broadcaster and the president of Landmark Legal Foundation. His novels Rescuing Sprite: A Puppy Lover's Tale of Pleasure and Anguish and Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Killing America were also bestsellers. He has served as a key adviser and administrator to numerous members of President Ronald Reagan's cabinet and as an attorney in the private sector.
