Are you a history enthusiast? Or have a passion for philosophy, law and order, and governance? You will find this book favoring your desires and aligned to your expectations!

The Right To Nominate by Thomas Jefferson is a perfect work of non-fiction whose primary focus is the political history that America has since the first constitution was framed after independence, down to how the present-day party system came to be. In the pages of this book, Thomas examines the history of America with the same sense that the Framers used and checks in a keener detail what has worked and what hasn't. Furthermore, the author takes us through the reviews and oversight system intended for the new government as the fathers were designing it to limit the effects of party systems.

Throughout the book, we examine how these checks were outdone and suppressed by the quick emerging of significant parties. The author helps the reader conclude that the advent of parties was done in a very perverted and deviant manner led by individuals with debased intentions, such as Thomas Jefferson. He takes us through the journey and differences between the two different eagles, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, who were great men in the first cabinet. He clearly shows how the structure of the government was altered from what was in the Framers' minds to the current states, which has taken away the people's sovereignty.
Moreover, Jefferson promoted a system of government that could handle parties' greed and secretiveness and restore the original government design and sovereignty of the American constitution. He seeks to enlighten the American people to rediscover their lost right to nominate and nominate non-party candidates. In a nutshell, he seeks a government system where people will receive back their rightful sovereignty as the final decision-makers.

Jefferson presents his ideas and concepts in technical language and a descriptive style that gives the reader an understanding. Furthermore, he properly uses parenthesis, proper citations, and illustrations drawing the attention of the reader. Although he is opposed to the party system within the government structure, he supports his reasons, and evidence shows that the Americans should be enlightened and reclaim the original minds of the constitution framers. I particularly like the writing style of the book and its narrative style.

I didn't hate anything about the book; therefore, I kept on reading to the end. However, I noted a few flaws in his presentation. First, the author applies so many paragraphs that give the book some discontinuity. Also, there is some redundancy in repeating the same ideas frequently, and he used too many words for a singular concept that would just be brought home in just a few technical terms. Additionally, he applied parenthesis in some instances, which may not be needed, but it boosts the reader's understanding.

Despite these dislikes about it, there are more positive aspects to take from it than the negatives. The author uses clear and distinct illustrations, good citations, and simple to understand language so that someone who isn't an American denizen will comprehend what's being presented. Also, I noted no grammatical errors or other editing mistakes from the book. I, therefore, give a perfect four out of four stars rating to the book because it was exceptionally and perfectly edited.

I recommend this book to all students of law and governance, teachers in political science and history, and those interested in comprehending the history lane the great nation of America has come down through to get to the current state. This book shows no vulgar language cases; thus, it is a perfect read for anyone regardless of ethnicity, gender, class, or age.
