Six amendments how and why we should change the constitution

For the first time ever, a retired Supreme Court Justice offers a manifesto on how the Constitution needs to change. By the time of his retirement in June 2010, John Paul Stevens had become the second longest serving Justice in the history of the Supreme Court. Now he draws upon his more than three decades on the Court, during which he was involved with many of the defining decisions of the modern era, to offer a book like none other. SIX AMENDMENTS is an absolutely unprecedented call to arms, detailing six specific ways in which the Constitution should be amended in order to protect our democracy and the safety and wellbeing of American citizens. Written with the same precision and elegance that made Stevens's own Court opinions legendary for their clarity as well as logic, SIX AMENDMENTS is a remarkable work, both because of its unprecedented nature and, in an age of partisan ferocity, its inarguable common sense.

  • "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."@en
