A New Constitution for
the United States of America		 A New Constitution for Liberty

A Constitutional Convention on the Web

The Constitution of 1787 was a masterpiece for it's time. Unfortunately, the authors left too much for granted (including the integrity of public officials), allowing massive abuses of individual liberty by our government. I think it is time we all gave serious thought to reforming the Constitution on a broader scale then a few individual amendments.

Here is my own proposal, which I believe has merit. It is not a very original document. Most of it comes from the Constitution of 1787 and the Articles of Confederation, with a large number of modifications of my own. It's the modifications that I think make the difference worth discussing.

Article descriptions in the Table of Contents (and the Article numbers in the Constitution) are hyperlinked to a Comments window, with the origins of, and my views on, each provision. As I recieve comments and suggestions from others, I will incorporate them into the site (appropriately annotated and credited).

While I am under no delusions that a significant proporation of the citizens of the United States would even think about replacing our current Constitution today, I believe the day will come when the idea will be seriously debated. My intention is to present my own concept of where we need to go, and get the ball rolling (hopefully in a more libertarian direction). I hope you will give this document consideration, and share what you think.
