Publisher's Synopsis
""New Views of the Constitution"" is a book written by John Taylor, which offers a fresh perspective on the United States Constitution. The author challenges the traditional interpretation of the Constitution and provides a new understanding of the document's purpose and structure. Taylor argues that the Constitution was not intended to create a powerful central government, but rather to establish a federal system that would protect individual liberty and promote the general welfare. The book explores the historical context of the Constitution's creation, as well as the political and philosophical debates that shaped its content. Taylor's analysis is both insightful and thought-provoking, and offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion of the Constitution's meaning and significance. Overall, ""New Views of the Constitution"" is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, politics, and law.Let us suspend the consideration of contemporaneous testimony, and concisely review the ground we have passed over. Suppose the proceedings of the convention had been publick, and that all the panoply for the establishment of a national government, had been displayed in the newspapers. Suppose the states to have been alarmed by the exhibition, and to have remonstrated against the project. That this would have been the case, is demonstrated by the credentials to their deputies, and the opinions annexed to their ratifications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
