Publisher's Synopsis
From "Haveing undertaken, for ye Glorie of God, and advancements of ye Christian faith, and the honour of our King & countrie, a voyage to plant ye first colonie in ye Northern parts of Virginia," to "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union..." we are taught these basic concepts, but do we ever truly receiving them in context? The purpose of the Foundations of the United States is to show where the nation began as colonies, and let those who lived the struggle voice the issues they considered, and the powers, and possible tyrannies, they believed could destroy the nation, if not properly checked in our new government: a democratic-republic. In Part Two, we pick up with the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers debates and follow through until we complete the Constitution of the united states of America, that we might better understand the very foundations of the United States, and have the privilege of learning as political masterpieces are presented, allowing the Founders and their contemporaries to lead the story of what was the driving force(s) in forming this new nation! I hope we all may enjoy the journey of discovery and the unflinching reminder of what this nation's birth was about!
