Abstract:: The United States of America is in deep trouble. The political infrastructure of the US, along with its underpinning moral fabric, has been crumbling for some time and is now on the brink of collapse. If it does not restructure and revamp its political system with transparency, accountability, political ethics, and rule of law, the US will be beleaguered by domestic turmoil and be thrusted into a darker hole vis-à-vis rising powers such as China. If the US fails, the whole world will fail. While delving into the systemic issues that plague America’s societal values and political foundation, this article, the first of a two-part article, suggests ways the US can redeem its status as a moral authority on the global stage.

Abstract:: Keep a highlighter and pen handy. I don’t recall the last time I used the former so frequently or made so many comments in a book’s margins. Each draft of this review has had a different emphasis. The conclusion I reached was this: the reader will have an incredible number of issues to mull over, and this review simply cannot discuss every worthwhile topic. Thus, while not a casual read, this volume certainly is a rewarding one. The book commences with a basic political insight: a constitution originating in one country may not be transplanted to another country and be expected to work in the same manner as it had in the country of origin. This book demonstrates the many reasons why that is so, and more particularly, how current legislative and executive practices have undermined the framers’ understanding of the rule of law. In sum, our nation’s governance has become increasingly arbitrary under a system the authors aptly describe as “quasi-law.”
