Publisher's summary

Mark R. Levin has made the case, in numerous New York Times best-selling books - Men in Black, Liberty and Tyranny, and Ameritopia - that the principles undergirding our society and governmental system are unravelling. In The Liberty Amendments, he turns to the founding fathers and the constitution itself for guidance in restoring the American republic.

For a century, the Statists have steadfastly constructed a federal Leviathan, distorting and evading our consti­tutional system in pursuit of an all-powerful, ubiqui­tous central government. The result is an ongoing and growing assault on individual liberty, state sovereignty, and the social compact. Levin argues that if we cherish our American heritage, it is time to embrace a constitutional revival.

The delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Conven­tion in Philadelphia and the delegates to each state's ratification convention foresaw a time when - despite their best efforts to forestall it - the Federal govern­ment might breach the Constitution's limits and begin oppressing the people. Agencies such as the IRS and the EPA and programs such as Obamacare demonstrate that the Framers' fear was prescient.

Therefore, the Framers provided two methods for amending the Constitution. The second was intended for our current circumstances - empowering the states to bypass Congress and call a convention for the pur­pose of amending the Constitution. Levin argues that we, the people, can avoid a perilous outcome by seek­ing recourse, using the method called for in the Con­stitution itself.

The Framers adopted 10 constitutional amend­ments, called the Bill of Rights, that would preserve individual rights and state authority. Levin lays forth 11 specific prescriptions for restoring our founding principles, ones that are consistent with the Framers' design. His proposals - such as term limits for mem­bers of Congress and Supreme Court justices and lim­its on federal taxing and spending - are pure common sense, ideas shared by many. They draw on the wisdom of the Founding Fathers - including James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and numerous lesser-known but crucially important men - in their content and in the method for applying them to the current state of the nation.

Now is the time for the American people to take the first step toward reclaiming what belongs to them. The task is daunting, but it is imperative if we are to be truly free.

Very sad commentary on the State of our Union

The book points out obvious problems to the future of our country due to power hungry few and delusional many.

Here, Here!

We need changes to our political system and government. Congress will never make the changes needed, so WE THE PEOPLE must do so.

Here is how!

Excellent ideas!

step by step to restore freedom

Clear easy fully understandable read. The best way to increase freedom, the middle class, and hope. A prescription to avoid the always doomed socialist government. If you or people you know don't agree challenge yourself and open your future and ours to the perfection you seek for the world. It will return equality by restoring the rule of law and the concept of our real rights by our very existence - "American Exceptionalism". Yes, that's what that phrase means. Its not ours. It's the culmination of the best of world history put into the form of a government for humanity presented by the founders. It's ours to maintain if we can and don't wish to ignore history and constantly repeat our errors.

Outstanding Patriot is Mark...

Great book

So packed with detail that I could listen over and over and always get something new out of it.

(yet) another MUST HAVE by Mark Levin!

Here he makes the case for taking back our Country from the Federal Leviathan using the only option left to us by the Constitution.

It is an important work and should be a na b datory read by anyone who loves freedom.

Great book, worth the read!

Where does The Liberty Amendments rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is my first, so it is hard to tell! I think it falls under the 'Ron Paul' category of easy to read and understand books. Most libertarian or classically liberal minded people would have already considered such changes or is not earth shattering to them.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Liberty Amendments?

The emphasis in some chapters about the regulatory state.

Which scene was your favorite?

The post-constitutional state.

Mark Levin explores the Article Five Convention

Any additional comments?

Mark Levin might lean heavily to the right; most on the left won't even listen but we should all be listening. Mark Levin has compiled the most incredible resource for understanding the Article Five process and how to change the Government Factory for the better, without the Congress. It's clear, concise and informative. If you don't read this, you can't say you understand the powers protected for the People and the States as fully as you should. Libertarians, Conservatives, Moderates and Liberals and Progressives, This book is about your rights and how you can protect them. This is not Right wing Propaganda. Mark Levin's writing in general is above the reproach of the standard political warfare because he backs a majority of his commentary with factual information and iron-clad research.
