HOW DEMOCRATIC IS THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION?
yale.edu
This Yale-sponsored author has just announced today his book describing certain features of the Constitution as ... a mistake.

many defining aspects of our political system were implemented as a result of short-sightedness or last-minute compromise. Dahl highlights those elements of the American system that are most unusual and potentially antidemocratic: the federal system, the bicameral legislature, judicial review, presidentialism, and the electoral college system.

("Quick", whispers the conspiracy buff out of the side of his mouth to the intrepid reporter, "call Oliver Stone and see what the damn Skull & Bones crowd is up to now! They must be preparing a straw argument against presidentialism and federalism so they can knock it down and create full martial law!")
