Written Out of History: The Forgotten Founders Who Fought Big Government by Mike Lee
4.0
I'm accustomed to thinking of the Constitution as a sound document and the big founding fathers, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, etc as heroes.
This book doesn't necessary strip them of that, but does remind us that there were other founders - people who were concerned that the constitution would strip states and individuals of power, placing the central government on a royal throne with royal powers.
It was an interesting listen, and some of the concerns of these overlooked founders are looking prophetic.
