This impeccable book, Right to Nominate by Thomas E. Peterson, summarizes the greatness of the United States political constituency and government; but it emphasizes that capitalism warps its humanitarian values. The book describes a derail in the purpose of the constituency, originally. In the book, the author also refers to 'The Framers'— the early constituency pioneers, and how they foresaw and warned against comradeship and political partisans. The book explained the morals of constituencies and its previous reforms. More so, the book raises its reader's awareness on issues concerning comradeship— wars and fractioning of government. In a nutshell, the author brings to the minds of people, that they should not forget the power bestowed upon them by the Framers; the power of democracy— to vote, be voted for, nominate, and renominate again. This is the grand idea of the American civilization; An idea for the generations to come. That the peoples relationship with the founders of their country is firmly reverberated in their mode of government— A free state. Using the lives of former great leaders and monarchs, the book proved its point. Making substantial change to the future of constituency will aid better growth in economic and humanitarian proceedings, thereby reducing toxic relations in government; thus is the idea of the author.

Starting the book was boring, but along the line I realised I loved its teachings. The book reminds us of the power we have in ensuring environmental and political change. No matter how far the politics of today have derailed from the outlines and guidelines of its original structure; fundamental values still remain in its structure that ensures discontinuity of political factions and corruption. The story was very interesting and informing; something historical non-fiction genre of books lack. And the characters, organizations, and ideological terms, were well described before they were blended into the writer's allegory. With all these, the book was seamless to understand.

There isn't much to dislike about this book. I only felt that personal life issues of some non-fictional characters were brought up too often and rubbed on their faces. I was not too comfortable with that. It is true that the book also evaluates morals and ethical living— which made the book interesting to read. But, personal issues should be left private. I still enjoyed hearing their personal businesses; however, one should be careful when writing about such.

The story was deliberate and bold— revealing all that future generations need to know about there founding fathers. Therefore, I say the book communicated its message well. It was also professionally edited, so I will rate it a 4 out of 4 stars.

I recommend the book to readers of historical novels. Readers of the drama genre of books will also enjoy this piece. If one longs to know about U.S. history, this book will do well to inform.
