1. Original Meanings
This book delves into the political history of the United States, examining the original intent of the Founding Fathers when drafting the Constitution. The author scrutinizes the debates, disagreements, and compromises that shaped the formation of the Constitution, aiming to dispel the notion of a unified vision by the Founding Fathers. Instead, it presents the Constitution as a dynamic, evolving document, shaped by a variety of opinions and interests.
