“The Liberty Amendments” by Mark R. Levin – Reviving the Constitution

Those who have followed the news in regards to American politics over the last few years know about the blatant disregard towards the constitution on numerous occasions as various bills were passed which many thought to be illegally-intrusive on the sovereignty of the state and individual freedom (more precisely, the Patriot and NDAA acts). 

Fortunately, there are still people out there willing to speak out about this issue, and Mark R. Levin is one of those who went all out, writing a book titled The Liberty Amendments, in which he basically dissects how the constitution was infringed, why we need to restore its authority and edit it up, and how we can really change things to ensure each of us can maintain our individual liberty.

Though there is a bit of fear mongering in this book, I am saddened to say that most of the points discussed by Mark R. Levin were quite true, not to mention very well-argued. Levin doesn’t pull any punches and basically begins by painting for us what he believes to be the real picture of what the United States are like. 

Supporting his ideas with concrete examples and evidence (for lack of a better word), Levin shows us that respect towards the constitution is nothing but gone, that individual rights are being butchered left and right, and how there is an ever-growing tendency to have one centralized government ruling all the states.

Of course, Levin doesn’t just list all the things wrong from his perspective… he not only proposes to bring back respect for the constitution, but also make various changes to it, because let’s face it, our morals, values, goals and general situation is a bit different from what it was back when it was written. Some of his propositions include a cap on the tax at 15% and giving states the power to override a federal statute via votes 3/5 votes. 

The Liberty Amendments by Mark R. Levin (Book cover)
Long story short, Levin believes that governance in this country should be done on a moral local level, that more people should be involved in the process of deciding the fate of this country’s citizens. If we don’t make any changes, then quite soon the lives of more and more people will be the in the hands of fewer and fewer elites.

If you are wondering how it is that the United States have gotten to where they are, why individual freedoms are being slowly suppressed, why there is a growing central power, and what we can do to bring change into this world and resurrect the basic liberty of choosing one’s fate, then I highly recommend you read The Liberty Amendments. Even if you aren’t interested in Levin’s opinions, you still have no choice but to value all of the factual information he provides us with on how things were, are, an perhaps will be.
