The book contains the political philosophy of the Founding Fathers regarding property, contracts, land, and farming. The Founding Fathers believed that it was necessary to restrict the powers delegated to the federal government under the Constitution in order to protect the rights of an individual to exclusive possession of property, which in the Founders minds meant everything to which they could attach a value-including freedom of opinions, ideas, speech, and commerce. It places at your fingertips informative quotes, references, and excerpts from the writings of the Founders themselves and from other sources to give a background and context to the concepts that went into the framing of the U.S. Constitution.
