Walton\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe American republic was built to prevent a king and produced a presidency that acts like one. The same drift has hollowed the rest - a Senate that overrepresents land, a Court that legislates, a Congress captured by parties the Constitution never named, a wealth gradient steep enough to render formal equality a fiction. The institutions still meet, the elections still proceed, the rituals of self-government still hold - but the substance has moved. Power concentrates faster than the architecture restrains it, and the gap is widening. No Kings argues that the problem is architectural, not personal: no reformer wins inside a machine designed to concentrate. The country has spent two centuries betting that the right person in the right office would set things right - and the bet was structurally lost before any name appeared on a ballot. The ordinary corruptions of office now have extraordinary consequences. The next correction has to be made in the structure itself. The book names the fix in specifics. A constitutional income floor and ceiling, indexed and locked at a 1,000:1 ratio. An expanded House sized to actual representation, with the Senate abolished. Political parties banned by law. Borda-count ranked-choice voting. A presidency stripped of its monarchical residue, its powers redistributed across the branches that were always meant to hold them. The case is engineered, not declaimed: each proposal addresses a documented failure mode, each is defended on the merits it would have to win on. The result is a blueprint for a republic in which no person holds power enough to rule all others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 518\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 21, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54090524950835,"sku":"9798905499005","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/m96uguMDKh9798905499005.webp?v=1789606282","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/no-kings-a-new-architecture-for-american-self-governance-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
