The Constitution of 2288 is an experiment in political futurism, trying to analyze problems in the current US government and how those can be solved by creating better systems and a better form of democracy. By any measure, the United States has been the most successful country on the planet Earth. Most of that is due to a culture of initiative and free markets with a supportive system of government. The initial constitution was a brilliant piece of work. However, human nature has undermined some of the founding principles, and it needs updating for the modern world. It could be far better. Changing any system, especially a governmental system, is very hard work and historically has often been shown to be impossible. People often resort to violence because peaceful pathways to change are not open. This work envisions a time in the future where the United States has found a way to peacefully revise its constitution to a far better product, putting in place a far more efficient government, with many of the ideas equally applicable at other levels of government and in other countries. This is not an impossible goal, but it has to start with a realization of the problem and then a vision for a better future. This book hopefully can contribute to that vision and to the process of improvement for those interested in pursuing it.
