New EU constitution: Federalism?

and a unified military command structure would also be necessary.

Yes the first few americans presidents were from virginia, as all nations have growing pains, look at what happened after that, it stoped being the case that they all came from a select few states, and there have been presidents and other high level officers from most states now, several from states who dont have anywhere near a large population.

I say that all current national languages should be considered secondary, or conversational languages, but all official documents/statements should be done in a single unified primary language, this is somewhat similar to the situation in India, where english is used in government and some buisiness, but in every day circumstances Hindi is used by the majority of people. As far as suggestions for that one governmental language tehre are a large number of possibilities. 1. English, already taught as if it were a second language to most people anyway (including almost every frenchman), and the international language of diplomacy and buisiness. Is closely related with german another prime choice for the language2. French, spoken by multiple EU nations as the language (more if Swizerland joins) of choice, large history of being the international european language from the time of Louis XIV until the 20th century. 3. German, spoken in pure form by more than 1 european state, including the largest population wise, also is closely related to many languages easing the transition.

Obviously all 3 of those options also carry with them alot of political problems, but my serious proposal is a modernized Latin as the official language of Europe. My reasons are that it does not carry with it any of this political weight that "modern" languages do. It also is closely related to the languages spoken by the majoirity of EU citizens, with Portugese, Italian, Spanish, French directly descended from it and English somewhat indirectly and partially connected to it (remember the majority of english words are based in latin through french). Also if romania joins the EU that is just another country that speaks a romance language. This is also the language of the only historical european state, the Roman Republic/Empire. When the name for the european money was being decided the "Denari/us" was seriously considered (which of course was the last complete european money as well).
