An American Miracle: the Making of a Constitution
This book was written for readers who hated history in high school. They were bored silly having to memorize the dates of dead kings and old battles none of which were relevant to their own lives. They were right in their ennui. George Santayana once wrote in his book, The Life of Reason, that “Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.” History teachers who forget this important maxim are doing their students a serious disservice by making their lessons a dull recitation of data irrelevant to current problems. This book attempts to address this issue by bringing the lessons of history into the writing of our Constitution.
