Twenty-first-century constitutions now typically include a new 'fourth branch' of government, a group of institutions charged with protecting constitutional democracy, including electoral management bodies, anticorruption agencies, and ombuds offices. This book offers the first general theory of the fourth branch; in a world where governance is exercised through political parties, we cannot be confident that the traditional three branches are enough to preserve constitutional democracy. The fourth branch institutions can, by concentrating within themselves distinctive forms of expertise, deploy that expertise more effectively than the traditional branches are capable of doing. However, several case studies of anticorruption efforts, electoral management bodies, and audit bureaus show that the fourth branch institutions do not always succeed in protecting constitutional democracy, and indeed sometimes undermine it. The book concludes with some cautionary notes about placing too much hope in these – or, indeed, in any – institutions as the guarantors of constitutional democracy.

In The Fourth Branch: Reconstructing the Administrative State for the Commercial Republic Brian J. Cook confronts head-on the accumulating derangements in the American constitutional system and how the administrative state has contributed to the problems, how it has been a key force in addressing the troubles, and how it can be reformed to serve the system better. The Fourth Branch is anchored in a powerful theory of regime design that guides a freshly comprehensive account of the historical development of successive political economies and administrative states in the United States and provides the normative grounding for more far-reaching constitutional change. Cook calls for a decisive, pattern-breaking response in the form of a constitutional redesign to accommodate a fourth branch, an administrative branch. The Fourth Branch shows that the creation of a fourth administrative branch is consistent with the history and traditions of American constitutionalism. Far more than that, however, the addition of a fourth branch could enhance American constitutionalism by making the separation of powers work better, increasing the likelihood that deliberative lawmaking will occur, strengthening civic capacity and public engagement in governance, and improving both accountability and coordination in the administrative state. By stressing that the administrative state in its current form is both biased toward business and seriously undermined by subordination to the three constitutional branches, Cook contends that neither abandoning the administrative state nor more deeply constitutionalizing or democratizing it within the existing constitutional structure is sufficient to fully legitimate and capitalize on administrative power to serve the public interest. Rather, Cook argues that it is imperative to confront the reality that a fundamental reordering of constitutional arrangements is necessary if the American commercial republic is to recover from its growing disorder and progress further toward its aspirations of liberal justice and limited but vigorous self-rule.

There are four branches of American government: executive, legislative, judicial, and the people. Just as the words "check and balances" do not appear anywhere in the Constitution, the structure for both, checks and balances, and the people, being the fourth branch, are in America's Constitution. The people have been excluded from America's government. The fourth branch of government has been cut off. This book contains two books. In one book, a little boy sees God when he is between four to five years old. The boy is not believed. He falls away. Much later in life, the man is called by God to bring God's pathway toward a reprieve or respite for America. A message of restoration of balance to an unbalanced government. A way toward unification for a dissolving union. The first story is the beginning of the man's journey. This story is truth. Just as the people were cut off from America's government, Adam and Eve were cast from Eden into earth's world. The second story begins as a fictional account of the Seventh Patriarch from Adam, who as a boy seeks God around seven hundred years after Adam and Eve were cast from Eden. The story of God's First Scribe is of divine inspiration derived from Scripture never canonized. Descriptions and even comparisons of this man to Jesus Christ are in several books in the Bible to include Genesis, the books of Hebrews and James. God begins to work the way for man back to Him through Seth, this boy, many prophets and messengers, through Jesus Christ all the way toward the people coming to the rationalization, the realization, and having the awareness that the people are both America's fourth branch and the fourth branch of heaven. The stories combined become a comparison and contrast of two little boys who seek God about five thousand years apart.

I have come to the conclusion that our national government has gotten itself infested with an unknown but large number of people who do not have the best interests of the people, the country or the planet as a whole at heart. Instead they are some combination of: totally unproductive, or wasteful in the extreme, or corrupt, or criminal, which includes those who have no concept of right or wrong and those who appear to be pursuing goals harmful to the country and to the individual citizen. Unfortunately, it seems likely that more than a few such people have inserted themselves into positions of power. Worse, they have assisted others of their kind into supporting positions of power, so that it seems very hard to root them out. It's a simple book; one that I hope doesn't take you too long to read. YouOve read enough already to form some idea of whether you might agree with this conclusion. If not, skip it. Do something that seems more interesting to you. But if you think there might be something to this, read on. I will briefly discuss some events, and portions of the US government, that I think illustrate the likelihood of what I described in paragraphs one and two above being true. Chapter Two outlines a proposed solution for this dilemma facing all of us: How can we keep our government efficient, inexpensive and honest? Can anything be done about it? I take the position that the answer to that question is yes."

With the explosion of social media and the Internet, practically everyone in America has instant access to the news and a greater ability to follow what is happening anywhere. As a result, we are a culture and a nation that is bombarded with information. However, we are coping poorly with that assault and using an outdated framework for our governance. Many people feel disconnected from the very mechanisms and people who are supposed to represent their interests.'The Fourth Branch of Government' is about updating the framework of our democracy. It is a movement whose time has come, and one that the Founding Fathers envisioned. This book outlines a roadmap for how change can be facilitated, as well as a rationale for why it is absolutely necessary and urgent. The only way to update our democracy and make it relevant to the 21st century is to call for a Constitutional Convention. In that forum, we can consider changes like eliminating the Electoral College, or implementing e-voting--perhaps even changes leading to a broader and more direct participation in our governance, the Fourth Branch of Government.
