Arthur E Palumbo 
Authentic Constitution 

We’ve strayed far from the original intent of the Framers of the Constitution and founders of the American republic. Art Palumbo discusses the origin and purpose of America’s great foundational document in conjunction with the Declaration of Independence and explores the founding principles of the American republic. He details and clarifies the US Constitution’s provisions for the proper powers of Congress, monetary policy and taxation, the government’s role in regulating commerce, in war, and in foreign policy, the right to bear arms, immigration and other hot-button issues in a way that cuts through misconceptions that leave many US citizens confounded. The book strictly supports "originalism, " which is the idea that the Constitution should be understood in accordance with the meanings advanced by those who wrote and ratified it. However, it also takes account of how far we have gone off course and recognizes that the changes required to get us back on track again cannot be made all at once.
