The Constitution is one of the most studied—and most willfully misunderstood—documents in American life.
How, then, should we confront the distortions layered onto the Constitution over generations? Distortions that continue to shape, and misshape, American life today?
The Independent Guide to the Constitution has the answers. This book provides a bold and independent examination of the most important legal document in modern history, without partisan noise or motivated reasoning. William J. Watkins, Jr., gives readers a meticulous, clause-by-clause analysis of America’s founding charter, revealing both the Framers’ original intentions and the modern interpretations that have reshaped constitutional governance (not always for the better).
Read it and learn:
How modern interpretations and legal doctrines have departed from original intent
Which constitutional “myths” have reshaped American law and politics over time
How the Constitution was designed to secure liberty by limiting government power
Why restoring constitutional clarity matters for today’s legal and political debates
And much, much more…
Discover the original, time-tested principles of liberty that continue to shape and challenge American life today.
