Architecture for a Third American Republic is the last gasp of effort for a people willingly enough to be free and govern themselves. The alternatives are surrounding the dreams of the Founding fathers. We The People are the decisive factor. Do we dare to prove finally to the world, that we can govern ourselves, or are we to admit defeat because we prefer apathy, comfort and convenience. It takes courage, and it takes intelligence, for it takes much effort for a people to really govern themselves. Does our history, does the mathematics and social science of humanity really allow us to indulge such goals of grandeur; or have we deluded ourselves for over 200 years? Now it is up to you. Let us govern ourselves or surrender to the law of large numbers and history and show the world we are more willing to fail than to finally really govern ourselves.
