We were stuck with 13 independent states, and this was not working very well. We had a Constitutional Convention and after intense lobbying, we had the United States of America - a complete economic success.
That every country in the world has copied, but not with the same degree of success.

Globalization and the Computer, however, have made Constitutional Democracy obsolete.
