Is That Really In the Constitution?

Liberals and conservatives can never seem to agree on whether our Constitution is a “living document” or a “limiting document.” Meanwhile, activist judges seem to take the Constitution to mean anything they want.

But how can we know what it really means? Author Brion McClanahan suggests we ask the Founding Fathers themselves.

In The Founding Fathers’ Guide to the Constitution, McClanahan offers a complete layman’s guide to the Constitution as explained and intended by the Founders who wrote it and debated its passage.

By using famous and little-known writings and speeches from the Founders themselves, The Founding Fathers’ Guide to the Constitution reveals the Founding Fathers’ answers to many of our biggest constitutional questions today—instead of forcing us to rely on the interpretations of judges, lawyers, and politicians.

From the preamble to the amendments to the Bill of Rights, McClanahan goes through the Constitution step-by-step to reveal how the founding generation intended for us to interpret its meaning.

In The Founding Fathers Guide to the Constitution you will discover:

• Whether the Constitution gives the Supreme Court power to interpret the law
• Why the preamble of the Constitution is constantly misunderstood
• Why almost every president elected after 1861 should have been impeached
• Why so many Americans misinterpret the Constitution today

With elections around the corner, it is imperative that Americans understand the meaning of the Constitution so we can elect officials who will truly uphold the principles laid down by our Founding Fathers.
