Product Description
Is the Constitution a myth? If that question strikes you as blasphemous, you confirm the thesis of this brightly written book, which offers a lively new perspective on an old but timely subject. Based on a series of articles written in 1987, this book presents a hypothesis that no historian or legal scholar would have developed. Bringing the irreverence and inquisitiveness of a journalist to the subject, Black has rethought the story of the framing, the addition of the Bill of Rights, and the relationship between our Constitution and our history. The result is a fresh and clear-eyed explanation of how the Constitution has worked and why it still works today. LONG DESCRIPTION BEGINS HERE

Readable, Interesting, Pretty Fun, 1999-08-03
This is a great little book that recounts the story of how the constitution came about, and how it became the central focus of our 200 year experiment in cooperative living. The "Founders" would be astounded at what their work has wrought, and newspaperman Eric Black has a great, readable, light style, that nevertheless delves deeply into the origins and context of our sacred document. Read it - it's good.
