Dear Fellow Conservative,
No document is more fundamental to the American way of government than the U.S. Constitution — and, thanks to decades of liberal judicial activism, no document is more fundamentally misunderstood. Crafted to place strict limits on the powers of the federal government, it now serves as a check on the powers of the states and the people — a complete reversal of its original purpose.
That's why we at the Human Events Book Service are putting our collection ofbooks on the Constitution on sale at lower-than-ever prices — we want conservatives to be equipped to defend the original intent of the Constitution against those who would make it a tool of judicial tyranny rather than a charter of freedom.
Among the fascinating and illuminating books you'll discover are:
Who Killed the Constitution? The Fate of American Liberty from World War I to George W. Bush
by Thomas Woods and Kevin R.C. Gutzman
Every politician claims to admire the Constitution, and government officials still have to swear to uphold it. But what does their alleged fidelity really amount to in practice? Nothing.
As Thomas Woods and Kevin R. C. Gutzman show in Who Killed the Constitution?, the crisis we face today is the culmination of decades of offenses against the Constitution by Democrats and Republicans, justices, presidents, and congresses alike — all of whom have essentially rejected the idea that the Constitution possesses a fixed meaning limiting the power of the U.S. government.
And they remind us: limiting the power of government was not just a minor feature of the Constitution. It was the very purpose of the document itself. Read more. |
A Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States
by Justice Joseph Story
Joseph Story was a child of the American Revolution who became not only a professor of law at Harvard, but a Supreme Court Justice — the youngest ever appointed. As a witness to, and participant in, the early years of constitutional interpretation, Justice Story opens a brilliant window into the thinking of the Founders in A Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States.
He reminds us that a strict construction of — and adherence to — the Constitution was what the Founders intended. This exclusive Conservative Book Club edition of Justice Story's masterpiece introduces a new generation to an unsurpassed work of American constitutional interpretation. With calm reason and in clear, unpretentious language, Justice Story explains every part, passage and provision of the Constitution, from Preamble to Amendments. Read more. |
Originalism: A Quarter Century of Debate
by Steven G. Calabresi
The judicial activists' infinitely malleable "living Constitution" was virtually unchallenged until heroes such as Ed Meese and the founders of the Federalist society mounted an intellectual challenge in the 1980s. Now, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of its founding, the Federalist Society has published Originalism: A Quarter Century of Debate, which includes all the important arguments for Constitutional originalism in one comprehensive volume.
Here you will find writings and speeches by Antonin Scalia, Ronald Reagan, Robert Bork, Edwin Meese, and a host of other great thinkers who demonstrate that only the original meaning of the Constitution guarantees the rule of law rather than the rule of men. Read more. |
We the People
by Lynne Cheney
"The story of our founding document is an important one for our children to know," writes bestselling author Lynne Cheney (wife of the former vice president).
"It is a tale of persistence, as delegates kept on, despite obstacles that at times made their task seem impossible. It is a tale of creativity, with the delegates providing a framework for a government entirely new. It is also a story that makes clear there was nothing inevitable about the Constitution that emerged from the Philadelphia convention. History might have gone otherwise but for the framers' genius."
Now, in We the People, Mrs. Cheney and illustrator Greg Harlin team up to make this story come alive for young readers with all the drama and pageantry our nation's founding document deserves. Read more. |
The Federalist
edited by John Church Hamilton
No book or document outside the Constitution itself is cited more often in our national political debates than The Federalist (popularly known as "The Federalist Papers"). On issue after issue, this collection of constitutional commentaries by three of our most influential Founders — Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay — are invoked nearly every day, more than 200 years after they first appeared. Conservatives in particular have long recognized the importance of The Federalist,because it offers the clearest insight into the "original intent" of the Constitution's framers.
Now, the Club proudly presents this essential volume of American political philosophy in collector's-quality hardcover. Taken from the rare 1864 version edited by Alexander Hamilton's son, this definitive edition contains important supplementary documents contained in no other edition available today. Read more. |
