Thomas Woods and Kevin Gutzman argue in the new book Who Killed The Constitution? that our nation’s governing document is dead.
The following quotation would have fit well with Woods and Gutzman’s material:
The Constitution of the United States I have long considered dead & gone.
I chuckled as I read that sentence this morning, noting that Nathaniel Macon wrote that line 181 years ago. You can learn more about Macon’s thoughts and actions in North Carolina History Project entries or chatting with project director Troy Kickler.
