In my reserach for the sequel to the Fame of Our Fathers – “The Spirit of ’76” I have read lots of stuff about the Constitution and the Ratification debates. M.E. Bradford’s Book of essays contained in “Original Intentions” are some of the best- modern day defenses – of states rights and the fact that the Constitution was specifically designed to LIMIT the power of the government.
If you want to have a better understanding of this and thus the Constitution, read this book.
