Construction Construed, And Constitutions Vindicated (1820) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781436812719)

Construction Construed, And Constitutions Vindicated is a book written by John Taylor and published in 1820. The book is a political treatise that focuses on the interpretation and construction of the United States Constitution. Taylor argues that the Constitution should be interpreted in a strict and literal manner in order to prevent the federal government from overstepping its bounds and infringing on the rights of the states and individuals. Taylor also defends the concept of states' rights, arguing that the federal government should have limited powers and that the states should be able to govern themselves as they see fit. He criticizes the centralization of power in the federal government and warns against the dangers of a strong central government. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and Taylor uses examples from history and contemporary politics to support his arguments. It is considered an important work in the development of American political thought, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and politicians today. Overall, Construction Construed, And Constitutions Vindicated is a thought-provoking and influential book that offers a unique perspective on the interpretation and construction of the United States Constitution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
