  • ""Over the past four decades, rules crafted by a slim majority of the members of the Supreme Court have had a profound and unfortunate impact on our basic law. Far from striding toward a more perfect union, we have actually slid backward. Now former United States Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens proposes six new amendments to the Constitution. Never before in history has a justice, whether sitting or retired, written such a book, articulating not only the need for such changes but also precisely what those improvements should be. The Constitution has been revised only eighteen times during the nation's history, the most recent amendment having first been introduced over two centuries ago. It is now time to revisit and renew this most foundational of American documents. Eloquent and precise, intrepid and unprecedented, Six Amendments is essential reading for those who care about the fate of our nation"--Jacket flap."@en
