Can Public Trust in American Democracy Be Restored?

There is a documented growing lack of trust in our government, a representative democracy, precipitated by a myriad of convoluted issues. Fortunately, there still is a general acceptance of perceived political wrong doings because Americans are patriotic, and believe their Democratic government is the best in the world. The general consensus is that this is the best we can do, given the characteristics of human nature, and the complexity/inertia of our Political System. An unfortunate aspect of this growing lack of trust is the awareness by our young people, who desperately need to believe in their country's leaders; that they do the right things for the right reasons. The above growing dilemma has inspired a study to ascertain if the above consensus is valid or is there a resolution to the on-going Public concerns? If there are solutions, are they easily understood and realizable, and why haven't they been corrected by our Elected Officials? Can Public trust in American Politics be restored? This book is unique in providing a clear basis or platform for the Public and Congress to address the underlying causes and respective implied solutions for the growing lack of trust in our government. It will be seen that these underlying causes are internal to our Political System where the required changes will impact those making the changes, Elected Officials. Therefore, it is imperative that the Public be informed and responsive.
