Title: Taking facts to wrong conclusions
Review: The author lost any remaining credibility with his assertion that the Framers wanted a strong central government with professional politicians. He draws this remarkable conclusion from the fact that the Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation, which were inadequate to moderate the business of the new nation. He chooses to neglect or diminish the many limitations placed on Federal power to enhance his personal belief that strong central government is best.Similarly, he points to the replacement of the AofC's one-year tenured delegates with two- and six-year tenured Congressmen and Senators as proof that the framers had abandoned the idea of the citizen (non-professional) legislator.Read this book - if you can borrow it. Save your spending money for a more balanced offering.
