Dabiel Lazare Author of the Book: The Frozen Republic: How The Constitution Is Paralyzing Democracy
James Madison's celebrated checks and balances have left the American government without direction or even final authority. In an effort to find the source of our nation's problems, political scientist Lazare offers a passionate but not partial, thoughtful but not impractical book, which aims simply to make government function better than it does now.

In this thought-provoking polemic, "an accomplished iconoclast" whose "knowledge of american history is as persuasive as his wit" (New York Times Book Review) blames americanca's outmoded constitutional system of checks and balances for the political malaise and governmental gridlock of recent years.

Why is there no commentary on this essential idea. Two have been removed for some reason. Is this idea being censored?

It's clear from recent history that a divided Senate has paralyzed this country and prevented instituting the processes necessary to: first, reinvigorate our stagnant economy and lift a large segment of our population from poverty and distress; and, second, establish a true democracy and more equitable society in this country.
