The Framers believed that if the federal government reflected and remained true to these principles, the goals of the U.S. Constitution could be accomplished. The Constitution of the United States is the most important political document ever written. The wisdom of the Founding and the principles of the Constitution must be given their proper place in our discussions and debates. Only then will people be able to protect and defend the Constitution from those who wish to abandon these unfailing principles of liberty. In this book, the author seamlessly weaves the words of the Founders into a logical and historically accurate description of the principles on which the Constitution was founded. He explains clearly why understanding those principles in the language and tradition of the Founding is so important. It is a masterful course in the exceptional nature of America's constitutional principles and will give you the understanding, courage, and determination to defend the Constitution with greater passion and clarity.
