While great strides have been made since the Founding years, the
United States continues to suffer from a high degree of political
inequality. Simply put, some citizens have a louder voice in their
democracy than others. Both the malapportioned Senate and Electoral
College overrepresent Americans in small states, while
gerrymandered districts poorly convert votes into power in the
House of Representatives. Over four million Americans living in
Washington, D.C. and the territories lack representation in
Congress, while citizens everywhere face unnecessary burdens to
cast ballots. Finally, biased media and questionable political
funding render it difficult to hold elected officials accountable.
This book explores these formidable problems and identifies the
path to securing a fairer, more representative political system.
Sourcing solutions directly from the Constitution, chapters outline
the tools that could limit malapportionment, expand voting rights,
control the influence of big donors and more. Achieving these
reforms, however, requires an engaged citizenry that relentlessly
demands change from those in power.
