Review of The Right to Nominate
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Right to Nominate" by Thomas E Peterson.]
The Right to Nominate is a nonfiction book authored by Thomas E Peterson. This book gives insights into the original structure of the constitution of the United States of America. It also explores the reasoning of the original framers when they were composing the first constitution of America. It is evident in the author's writing that he is well versed in matters of governance.
The author gives an articulate argument of how the people of America have lost their power. He claims that the people of America have no power over nominating the party representatives; the parties choose the representatives. According to this book, the original framers wanted the citizens to have the power to control the government. On the contrary, the political parties dominate and control the government. They have taken away the people’s right to nominate their preferred candidate. A right that would enable citizens to choose character-driven candidates. The author educates the readers on how the party system is corrupt and dysfunctional. He also proposes solutions; how Americans can bring the power back to the people.
The most satisfying thing about this book was how the author was thorough, substantive, and sophisticated. He takes the readers for a walk back in history and talks about the formulation of the constitution. Alternative facts and fake news have superseded facts in today’s world; therefore, the fact that the author provided genuine evidence to back his arguments was laudable. It is easier to take what someone says more seriously once you know they are well-informed about what they are discussing. Since the author did thorough research, it is hard to poke holes in what he discusses in this book.
The author did a fantastic job in tackling a complex issue. He offered a variety of viewpoints and evaluated those viewpoints. He highlighted the roles of the founding fathers in the composition of the original constitution. Peterson used clear language uniquely and creatively to handle a sophisticated topic. The history lessons offered in this book made it engaging. I am not a fan of books discussing political matters, but I was captivated by this book. The author surely knows how to win over readers.
There is nothing I disliked in this book. It was well written, well-structured, and exceptionally well-edited. I did not encounter any grammatical errors while reading it. I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. Anyone who loves reading historical and political non-fiction books will enjoy reading it.
