FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Study finds that political instability is linked to a lack of amendments to our Constitution

Orford, New Hampshire, November 18, 2014 – Today the Uniting Amendment released a new study on the correlation between a dormant constitution and political instability. (The complete study is available at: UnitingAmendment.com)

When we allow our Constitution to become stagnant, it causes political instability; so says a study by Egalib, Inc., the organization that is sponsoring the Uniting Amendment. The study presents compelling evidence of the correlation between constitutional stagnation and political instability, complete with a quantitative analysis of the Constitution's major amendments set within the context of our country's domestic policy history. Whenever we amend the Constitution to increase liberty or correct an injustice, political stability soon follows.

Particular attention is given to the Civil War in the study. It notes that the Constitution had been mostly dormant for nearly 70 years when the Civil War broke out, but in the period following the three major post-bellum amendments (the 13th, 14th and 15th), the country saw decades of relatively reduced political conflict domestically.

Several other periods of constitutional stagnation are highlighted in the study, along with the political instability associated with them.

Currently the Constitution has sat dormant for about 45 years without a major amendment, and the conflict, divisiveness and corruption we're seeing today shows that we are well overdue for another amendment to restore liberty and justice for our country. 

The study is in wiki form and, as with the Uniting Amendment, everyone is invited to help improve it.

The Uniting Amendment is the comprehensive amendment to the Constitution of the United States that covers nearly all of the issues: Citizenship and immigration, Suffrage, Equity, Civil rights, The Budget and taxes, Responsibilities and duties, Representation, The Supreme Court, Integrity, Basic assistance, The Census List, The Environment, The right to teach and learn, Right of self-defense, Right to control your own body, Property rights and commerce, Privacy and Security, Right to religious expression, Due process, and much more...

The amendment is based on our country's common values of liberty and justice, with the goal of increasing integrity and compassion. Although the amendment covers many issues, it leaves intact the form and structure of our government: a democratic republic with the same three branches of government. All those who call America home may contribute their ideas to the document.

As part of a larger effort to rebuild the country, the amendment intends to reestablish a government that is more fair, more free, and has the integrity and compassion needed to move the country forward. The project has already developed many fresh, innovative ideas that solve long-entrenched, difficult problems.

The Uniting Amendment project is being facilitated by Egalib, Inc., a publishing company located in Orford, New Hampshire.
