What is The Founding Fathers' guide to the constitution about?
Are liberals right when they cite the “elastic” clauses of the Constitution to justify big government? Or are conservatives right when they cite the Constitution's explicit limits on federal power? The answer lies in a more basic question: How did the founding generation intend for us to interpret and apply the Constitution? Professor Brion McClanahan, popular author of The Politically Incorrect GuideTM to the Founding Fathers, finds the answers by going directly to the source—to the Founding Fathers themselves, who debated all the relevant issues in their state constitutional conventions. Authoritative, fascinating, and timely, The Founding Fathers'Guide to the Constitution is the definitive layman's guide to America's most important—and often willfully misunderstood—historical document.
