A New Constitution Now (1942)

A New Constitution Now is a book written by Henry Hazlitt and published in 1942. The book is a call for the United States to adopt a new constitution that would limit the power of the federal government and protect individual rights. Hazlitt argues that the current constitution has been interpreted in a way that has allowed the federal government to become too powerful and that this power has been used to violate the rights of citizens. He proposes a new constitution that would limit the federal government to its enumerated powers and would include a bill of rights that would protect individual liberties. Hazlitt's book was written during World War II and reflects his concern that the war was being used as an excuse to expand the power of the federal government. The book was well-received and is considered a classic of libertarian political thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
