A New Constitution For America

A New Constitution for America is a constitutional proposal for national renewal, public repair, and freedom in fact. Jawanna Dean presents a new governing vision for the United States centered on one controlling principle: the human being comes first. This book argues that freedom cannot remain symbolic while people struggle with housing instability, medical debt, wage exhaustion, excessive labor demands, inadequate transportation, family-court burdens, incarceration, credit barriers, and public systems that make survival harder than it should be.
This work proposes a renewed constitutional order built around equality without exception, reparations for all, housing as a right, healthcare as a public obligation, educational choice, public transportation, labor limits, child dignity, domestic liberty, prison reintegration, digital rights, environmental stewardship, and public accountability. At the center of the proposal is a national reset: universal reparations protected from seizure, debt and credit correction, a ten percent non-refundable flat tax on individual and corporate income, national healthcare, public child-stability systems, abolition of private child-support enforcement and alimony, renewable marriage contracts, a thirty-hour maximum workweek, and structured American Leadership Training residences for children who require protected placement and leadership development.
A New Constitution for America is not an official government document or enacted law. It is an independent civic, political, moral, and constitutional proposal written as a public framework for what the nation could become if human dignity were placed above every institution created to govern it. This book is for readers interested in constitutional reform, civil rights, public policy, reparations, housing justice, labor reform, family-law transformation, prison reintegration, child advocacy, national healthcare, and the future of American governance.
Freedom must be lived and actively practiced. Equality must be enforceable and fully realized. Repair must be public and materially delivered. The future must be built with human dignity as its foundation.
