If you could add any three amendments to the Constitution, what would they be?
We put this question to Nobel Laureate James M. Buchanan, founder of the "public choice" school of political economy, and his answer kicks off this, the premiere issue of Cato Unbound. Yale law professor Akhil Reed Amar, author of America's Constitution: A Biography; Judge Alex Kozinski of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; and William A. Niskanen, chairman of the Cato Institute, offer their critical assessment of Buchanan's proposals — and just might name amendment ideas of their own.
