Who Killed the Constitution?


Who Killed the Constitution?: The Fate of American Liberty from World War I to George W. Bush
"Let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." - Thomas Jefferson

The United States Constitution -- the bedrock of our country, the foundation of our federal republic -- is . . . dead.

You won’t hear that from the politicians who endlessly pay lip service to the Constitution. It’s the dirty little secret exposed in this provocative new book. The fact is that government officials - Democrats and Republicans, presidents, judges, and congresses alike -- long ago rejected the idea that the Constitution possesses a fixed meaning limiting the U.S. government’s power.

In case you’ve forgotten, this idea was not a minor aspect of the Constitution; it was the document’s very purpose.
