Eutopia after a civil war in the U.S. between the corrupt plutocracy and those supporting the citizenry as a whole. The U.S. system is reformed under the leadership of a man who takes the title "Administrator of the Republic". Reforms include votes for women, a graduated income tax, national rather than state and local laws, radical reduction in the number of judges, and elimination of the ability of the Supreme Court to pass on the constitutionality of laws, among other things. Includes a new national constitution.
