Description

Boyd Harrison served as a senior executive service leader in the US Government, with 31 years of federal civil service. He is a retired senior officer from the US military, with over 27 years of service on active duty and in the reserves. He has taken several courses during his service on the American legal system, the Constitution, and how the government works. He maintains a keen interest in scholarly interpretations of the founding documents for the United States. He resides in Nevada. The Constitution of the United States is broken! The Constitutional democracy of the United States has been severely challenged in recent times by President Donald J. Trump and the 115th through the 117th Congresses. They have shown us that the Constitution, as currently written and interpreted, is in dire need of revision in many areas. The public's trust of the Congress and the Presidency is low, with little cooperation between the political parties to solve the nation's problems. Recently, the Supreme Court, which has been highly respected historically, has fallen out of public trust due to excessive politicization. Many would say we get the government we deserve--because we, in our majority rule-based system, voted for it. The American people deserve a government that works for them since it is from the citizens that the government derives its power and authority. But all too often the leaders in government forget who the boss is--who they represent and serve. In this highly revised second edition, Boyd Harrison presents specific areas, based on recent events, where the Constitution of the United States needs to be changed and updated for modern times and to meet current challenges. The Founding Fathers were not perfect, and while they wrote a brilliant document for their times, they recognized during their deliberations and debates the need for compromise and the limitations of their efforts. Mr. Harrison offers these revisions to begin the conversation and debate as to what changes are necessary in order to improve the original form of government created in 1787, to preserve the republic for future generations, and to ". . . form a more perfect Union. . ."
