“William J. Watkins Jr.’s The Independent Guide to the Constitution: Original Intentions, Modern Inventions is an admirably clear-eyed and disciplined examination of a document that has, over the course of two centuries, been transformed from a charter of limited and enumerated powers into a font of nearly unlimited federal authority. Watkins writes with alarm at how far modern constitutional doctrine has drifted from the Founders’ design — but his book is more than a lament. It is a structured, systematic guide to how the Constitution was meant to work, how it has been distorted, and what might yet be salvaged.” 902/12/26)
