From the Introduction

One could ask, in the twentieth century, why did the world make America so popular?

Because almost everyone around the world wanted to come to America. It was the land of opportunity.

What made it the land of opportunity? It was the land of freedom. Freedom made everyone want to come to America.

Yes.

Why is America the land of the freedom? Because it has one document no other nation has— the Constitution of the United States of America with its Bill of Rights written and constructed as no other nation has done. How great I always thought that was…

Until I heard a radio interview with the president of the United States.

Thesis and Main Argument: The book challenges the idea that Americans may not fully understand the Constitution and Bill of Rights as written and that this misunderstanding may be influenced by the interpretations of political leaders. My argument is there is a disconnect between the original intentions of the Constitution’s framers and the way it is perceived and applied in contemporary politics.

I try to define the Bill of Rights and its association with the Constitution as it was intended when they were written. The idea being that unless you know the foundation of anything, it becomes difficult to build on it. Especially the idea that is America.

Modifying an original intent can become a disaster if the original intent isn’t thoroughly understood. This book tries to give the reader a better understanding of the original intent of the Bill of Rights before the “incorporation” of the fourteenth amendment.

It also introduces the separation of morality and the government. That the Constitution should not be seen as a moral or religious document but as a political one.
