Book excerpt: THE success of the American experiment in government was by no means assured when George Washington assumed the office President of the United States. The very unity of the states (only eleven at the time-Rhode Island and North Carolina were wavering) was tenuous. Ratification of the Constitution had been a struggle and had been accomplished with varying interpretations of the powers and duties of its three branches. Washington's first task was to put together what would come to be known as his "cabinet" but only after overcoming congressional reluctance to release the control it had exercised over the departments under the Articles of Confederation. He chose primarily from those who had served with distinction during the war for independence. Henry Knox and Alexander Hamilton had been among his most dependable and courageous officers in many campaigns. Edmund Randolph had been his aide-de-camp, and James McHenry had served on his staff. John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams had braved the British-controlled seas to serve as ambassadors seeking aid for the cause. Jay had negotiated the Treaty of Paris that brought the conflict to a close. The challenges the President and his chosen advisors faced brought them continuously into bitter conflicts, and not all retained their leader's confidence. The Citizen Genet affair, the Whiskey Rebellion, the enormous national debt, continued British occupation of the frontier and impressment of American citizens on the high seas, constant power struggles with Congress-all threatened the future of the American presidency and the U.S. Constitution as the underlying structure of American government. But the challenges were met, and by the end of George Washington's second term, though more dark clouds were on the horizon, the powers and duties of the presidency were largely defined and the course of the young nation was firmly set.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the friendship between founding fathers George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. From the American Revolution to the nation's first tempestuous years, this history book tells the largely untold story of the men who built America from the ground up and changed US history. In the wake of the American Revolution, the Founding Fathers faced a daunting task: overcome their competing visions to build a new nation, the likes of which the world had never seen. As hostile debates raged over how to protect their new hard-won freedoms, two men formed an improbable partnership that would launch the fledgling United States: George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. Washington and Hamilton chronicles the unlikely collaboration between these two conflicting characters at the heart of our national narrative: Washington, the indispensable general devoted to classical virtues, and Hamilton, an ambitious officer and lawyer eager for fame of the noblest kind. Working together, they laid the groundwork for the institutions that govern the United States to this day and protected each other from bitter attacks from Jefferson and Madison, who considered their policies a betrayal of the republican ideals they had fought for. Yet while Washington and Hamilton's different personalities often led to fruitful collaboration, their conflicting ideals also tested the boundaries of their relationship—and threatened the future of the new republic. From the rumblings of the American Revolution through the fractious Constitutional Convention and America's turbulent first years, this captivating history reveals the stunning impact of this unlikely duo that set the United States on the path to becoming a superpower. Ideal for fans of nonfiction best sellers Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow and The First Conspiracy by Brad Meltzer, Washington and Hamilton is a story of American history, political intrigue, and a friendship for the people.

Download or read book Restoring the Lost Constitution written by Randy E. Barnett and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-24 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Constitution found in school textbooks and under glass in Washington is not the one enforced today by the Supreme Court. In Restoring the Lost Constitution, Randy Barnett argues that since the nation's founding, but especially since the 1930s, the courts have been cutting holes in the original Constitution and its amendments to eliminate the parts that protect liberty from the power of government. From the Commerce Clause, to the Necessary and Proper Clause, to the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, to the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Supreme Court has rendered each of these provisions toothless. In the process, the written Constitution has been lost. Barnett establishes the original meaning of these lost clauses and offers a practical way to restore them to their central role in constraining government: adopting a "presumption of liberty" to give the benefit of the doubt to citizens when laws restrict their rightful exercises of liberty. He also provides a new, realistic and philosophically rigorous theory of constitutional legitimacy that justifies both interpreting the Constitution according to its original meaning and, where that meaning is vague or open-ended, construing it so as to better protect the rights retained by the people. As clearly argued as it is insightful and provocative, Restoring the Lost Constitution forcefully disputes the conventional wisdom, posing a powerful challenge to which others must now respond. This updated edition features an afterword with further reflections on individual popular sovereignty, originalist interpretation, judicial engagement, and the gravitational force that original meaning has exerted on the Supreme Court in several recent cases.
