Synopsis
From abortion to same-sex marriage, today's most urgent political debates will hinge on this two-part question- What did the United States Constitution originally mean and who now understands its meaning best? Rakove chronicles the Constitution from inception to ratification and, in doing so, traces its complex weave of ideology and interest, showing how this document has meant different things at different times to different groups of Americans., With 'Original Meanings' Jack N. Rakove offers an account of the political world in which the Constitution of the United States was created, showing how that document meant different things to different groups of Americans at different times.

      I have just begun this book, but it's about time someone wrote that our Constitution was designed for the ages...not just the 18th century!
