As he was leaving Independence Hall at the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Dr. Franklin was approached by a lady who asked, "Well doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" The elder statesmen's pithy reply was prescient: "A republic, if you can keep it." We are now at risk of losing that precious gift. Through analysis of history, political philosophy and a plethora of current issues, A Federalist Manifesto builds upon the work of others to detail how the federal government became dysfunctional, and what can be done to correct it. Written from the perspective of a teacher, it addresses the issues in ways that are appropriate for both sophisticated reader and student alike, and it contains a gaming simulation for those who are interested in exploring news ways to present the Constitution in class. Rather than calling on a new generation to remake the world, as some have done, this book lays out the case for why mending the republic with time-tested principles is a better way. For those concerned about the future of our country, there is a peaceful way out of the abyss. It is called a convention of states, and it is high time we did something about it.
