| Publisher Description: You've Got to Stand for Something examines America's founding principles and serves as an easy-to-use guide to the origins and intent of American government. Direct quotations from The Federalist Papers as well as other writings and speeches from the likes of Jefferson and Adams are used throughout the book to highlight the founders' interpretation of the proper role of government. Several important clauses from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States that are often misunderstand and have led to problematic expansions of governmental power over the years are examined to provide readers with a more historically and philosophically sound understanding of the government's proper Constitutional role. The renewal of self-government requires that individuals stand up for principles expressed in this book. |
