The rapid dissolution of constitutional norms has rendered federal institutions incapable of effective governance. This updated edition documents how the constitutional crisis has accelerated beyond repair, making defederalization inevitable rather than optional. Through systematic analysis of structural failures-from Senate bias to Supreme Court capture-the book demonstrates why reform advocates must redirect resources from federal politics to state governance. With extensive case studies of successful state policies and practical frameworks for interstate cooperation, it provides a roadmap for building functional democracy after federal breakdown. This isn't retreat-it's strategic adaptation to preserve democratic values through constitutional evolution.
