With the benefit of an insider's perspective, distinguished
former congressman Lee H. Hamilton argues that America needs a
stronger Congress and a more engaged citizenry in order to ensure
responsive and effective democracy. Hamilton explains how Congress
has drifted away from the role envisioned for it in the
Constitution as a body whose power and influence would be
preeminent in the American system of government. He details the
steps that Congress should take to re-establish its parity with the
executive branch and become an institution that works reliably and
effectively for the betterment of the nation reinforce
congressional oversight, restore the deliberative process, curb the
influence of lobbyists, and reduce excessive partisanship.
Concurrently, Hamilton calls upon Americans to take more seriously
their obligations and responsibilities as citizens and engage with
the critical issues facing their communities and the nation."
