Despite being a young nation, the United States is governed by the world's oldest written constitution. Over the past 200 years, American society has advanced far beyond the scope of governance that the Constitution established. This book chronicles the changes that the United States and its Constitution have endured. The effects of these changes are further analyzed and applied to important facets of policy-making: international relations, church/state relations, and economics. The research in this book focuses on the differences between how we interpret the Constitution today, and how the Framers intended for the Constitution to be interpreted. By analyzing the significance of historical events, Jenkins tracks how our perception of this most important document has changed with time. For any reader looking to expand their knowledge of America's political history, this book is a must-read.
