A New Constitution Now (1942)

""A New Constitution Now"" is a book written by Henry Hazlitt in 1942. The book is an argument in favor of the adoption of a new constitution for the United States. Hazlitt argues that the current constitution is outdated and inadequate for the modern world. He suggests that a new constitution should be based on the principles of limited government, individual liberty, and free markets. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the development of the current constitution and identifies its flaws. The second part outlines the principles that should be incorporated into a new constitution, including the separation of powers, the protection of property rights, and the establishment of a free market economy. The third part discusses the practical steps that would be necessary to adopt a new constitution, including the role of the states and the need for a constitutional convention.Hazlitt's argument for a new constitution is based on his belief that the current constitution has led to the growth of government power, the erosion of individual liberties, and the suppression of free markets. He argues that a new constitution would provide a framework for limited government and individual freedom, which would lead to greater prosperity and happiness for all Americans.Overall, ""A New Constitution Now"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to think critically about the role of government and the importance of individual liberty in American society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
