Описание: The Amazing True Story of the Election That Saved the Constitution In 1789, James Madison and James Monroe ran against each other for Congress--the only time that two future presidents have contested a congressional seat. But what was at stake, as author Chris DeRose reveals in "Founding Rivals: Madison vs. Monroe, the Bill of Rights, and the Election That Saved a Nation," was more than personal ambition. This was a race that determined the future of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the very definition of the United States of America. Friends and political allies for most of their lives, Madison was the Constitution`s principal author, Monroe one of its leading opponents. Monroe thought the Constitution gave the federal government too much power and failed to guarantee fundamental rights. Madison believed that without the Constitution, the United States would not survive. It was the most important congressional race in American history, more important than all but a few presidential elections, and yet it is one that historians have virtually ignored. In "Founding Rivals," DeRose, himself a political strategist who has fought campaigns in Madison and Monroe`s district, relives the campaign, retraces the candidates` footsteps, and offers the first insightful, comprehensive history of this high-stakes political battle. DeRose reveals: How Madison`s election ensured the passage of a Bill of Rights--and howMonroe`s election would have ensured its failureHow Madison came from behind to win a narrow victory (by a margin of only 336 votes) in a district gerrymandered against himHow the Bill of Rights emerged as a campaign promise to Virginia`s evangelical ChristiansWhy Madison`s defeat might have led to a new Constitutional Convention--and the breakup of the United States"Founding Rivals" tells the extraordinary, neglected story of two of America`s most important Founding Fathers. Brought to life by unparalleled research, it is one of the most provocative books of American political history you will read this year.

Описание: The Bill of Rights-the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution-are widely misunderstood by many Americans. This book explores the widely held myths about the Bill of Rights, how these myths originated, why they have persisted, and the implications for contemporary politics and policy.
The three most important documents in American history--expanded and explained.
In the centuries since the creation of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, as well as its Bill of the Rights, the liberties set forth within these documents have faced many challenges, including war, unrest, political debate, and legal disputes. Such trials persist today, but the initial strength of our founding papers--shining as beacons of hope and freedom to America and beyond--continues to stand the test of time.
Now, The American Reader provides a brief summary and analysis of these landmark documents: examining constitutional interpretation, specifically originalism vs. living Constitution; exploring the Declaration's "saving principles," expressed by Frederick Douglass, one of many influential leaders referenced in this concise guide; and more. Also included are noteworthy facts about the founding fathers, a detailed timeline of events, and other fascinating trivia.
At a time when our understanding of individual liberties in America is especially imperative, this essential reference puts our country's foundational beliefs into much-needed modern perspective.
