The Constitution of the United States of Europe

I'm renewing my offer to write a Constitution for Europe. Buy a bottle of vin ordinaire or plain beer for me and for a friend, plus some decent champagne to summon the spirit of Madison, we'll deliver a good one in 72 hours. Guaranteed to last one hundred and twenty years and then again as many, and bring your love back. Free sample follows.

We the Peoples of Europe, in Order to form a more perfect Union and secure the Blessings of Liberty and Justice for all, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of Europe.

I said it before and I say it again: if Europeans shanghaied Beethoven to write their anthem, they surely should be able to have a proper Constitution written by James Madison. Direct elections, separation of powers, legislature with an upper house representing the Nations and a lower house representing the People, devolution of responsibilities to the lower levels, what's so hard about all that?
