To a great extent, the effectiveness of a government may be traced to its constituting documents which serve as a guide or map for how it is supposed to function. From a systems perspective, we may expect a more systemic Constitution to inform the operation of a government that is more systemic and so more effective. This paper uses Integrative Propositional Analysis (IPA) to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the systemic structure of the US Constitution. The analysis finds that the US Constitution has a vanishingly low level of structure. This previously unrecognized lack of structure provides a new explanation for why the nation is increasingly misgoverned (and/or more difficult to govern) and why divisions are deepening between partisan groups, leading to argument and conflict. A path forward is suggested to develop a more systemic Constitution and more effective governance; one supporting a more just, prosperous, and sustainable society.

分析美国宪法的系统结构,为美国社会面临的分裂和冲突提供新的视角,并为更有效的治理提供指导

在很大程度上,政府的有效性可以追溯到它的组成文件,这些文件作为它应该如何运作的指南或地图。从系统的角度来看,我们可以期待更系统的宪法为政府的运作提供信息,使其更系统、更有效。本文采用综合命题分析(IPA)对美国宪法的系统结构进行初步评估。分析发现,美国宪法的结构非常低。这种以前未被认识到的缺乏结构提供了一个新的解释,解释了为什么国家越来越不治理(和/或更难以治理),以及为什么党派团体之间的分歧正在加深,导致争论和冲突。建议制定更系统的宪法和更有效的治理的前进道路;支持一个更加公正、繁荣和可持续发展的社会。
