What Does the Constitution Really Mean?

Are liberals right when they cite the "elastic" clauses of the Constitution to justify big government? Or are conservatives right when they cite the Constitution's explicit limits on federal power? The answer lies in a more basic question: How did the founding generation intend for us to interpret and apply the Constitution? Professor Brion McClanahan, popular author of The Politically Incorrect Guide(TM) to the Founding Fathers, finds the answers by going directly to the source--to the Founding Fathers themselves, who debated all the relevant issues in their state constitutional conventions.
In The Founding Fathers' Guide to the Constitution, you'll discover:

How the Constitution was designed to protect rather than undermine the rights of States
Why Congress, not the executive branch, was meant to be the dominant branch of government--and why the Founders would have argued for impeaching many modern presidents for violating the Constitution
Why an expansive central government was the Founders' biggest fear, and how the Constitution--and the Bill of Rights--was designed to guard against it
Why the founding generation would regard most of the current federal budget--including "stimulus packages"--as unconstitutional
Why the Founding Fathers would oppose attempts to "reform" the Electoral College
Why the Founding Fathers would be horrified at the enormous authority of the Supreme Court, and why the Founders intended Congress, not the Court, to interpret federal law

Authoritative, fascinating, and timely, The Founding Fathers' Guide to the Constitution is the definitive layman's guide to America's most important--and often willfully misunderstood--historical document.
