Call for a New Democratic Constitution Highlighted in Recent Letter

A reader urges the Democratic Socialists of America to champion a constitution that abolishes the Senate and places all power in a unicameral, universally elected legislature.

In a recent correspondence, the author praises one outlet's latest issue for advancing the debate on a new democratic charter. The letter argues that the current constitutional framework hinders working-class aspirations for freedom and equality. It endorses the DSA’s Workers Deserve More initiative, which proposes scrapping the Senate and subordinating the executive and Supreme Court to a single legislative body elected by equal suffrage. The writer, a member of the Marxist Unity Group, calls for continued pressure to realize these reforms.

Why it matters

It highlights a growing push within leftist circles for fundamental constitutional reform to increase democratic participation.
