New Laws for Old
A Revised Constitution
Outlined

NEW CONSTITUTIONS FOR ) NEW
AMERICA By william Macdonald
Published by p. W Huebsch. 81.
THE American Constitution pro
/ vides two methods for its own
revision The familiar method
is that Of submitting amendments to
the legislatures of the various states
fer ratification after they have secured
p two~thlrds majority in both houses
ol Congress. The Constitution also de-
clares that Congress, on The applca-
tion of the legislatures Of two-thirds
Of tho eeverel states, shall call CON
vention for proposing amendments"
DR.. Macdonald believes that the
time Is ripo for 4 thorough overhaul
ing of our organic law. such as could
only be accomplished through the in
strumentality of constitutional con
sention. Suggesting the outlines which,
IT his opinion, our revised Constitu-
tion should assume. he advocates the
institution of parliamentary govern
ment according to the English or Euro
pean model, the curtailing Of the pres
ent large powers intrustod to the Pres
ident, the creation Of q Federal ju-
dietary responsible TO Congress, rather
tE-an to the President, and the recogni-
tion Of the principle of occupatonal
representation in the choosing of the
House Of Representatives.
The author bases his rccommenda-
tions upon the desirability Of making
the American government more flexible
ard more quickly responsive to the will
Of the people. His work deserves study
IS a piece OF careful political exposi-
ton, but there is little likelihood that
his call for q constitutional convention
will be needed. The American people
are pretty we'll satisfied with the Con
stitution that has now served them for
almost century and half, and they
are quite content to amend il in piece
meal fashion, without subjecting it to
a Fundamental revision.
