The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic

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 stateâ€™s ratification convention foresaw a time when the Federal government might breach the Constitutionâ€™s limits and begin oppressing the people. Agencies such as the IRS and EPA and programs such as Obamacare demonstrate that the Framersâ€™ fear was prescient. Therefore, the Framers provided two methods for amending the Constitution. The second was intended for our current circumstancesâ€”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 Framersâ€™ design. His proposalsâ€”such as term limits for members of Congress and Supreme Court justices and limits on federal taxing and spendingâ€”are pure common sense, ideas shared by many. They draw on the wisdom of the Founding Fathersâ€”including James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and numerous lesser-known but crucially important menâ€”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.
