Martin, at What Would the Founders Think reviews Principled Action, Lessons from the Origins of the American Republic.
(Martin appropriately opens his review of my book with the
following disclaimer: "The author of Principled Action is a primary author on
What Would The Founders Think and also a good friend of this reviewer.")
"The Constitution
lays out the framework and defines the limits of government authority.
Best devotes several chapters to the thinking that went into its design as well
as the issues of the time in which it was written. In so doing, he offers
clarity and exposes some of the stretched, or downright inaccurate
interpretations prevalent today ... Best offers some
advice on regaining the government formed by the second revolution. One such suggestion is that we restore the
Founders’ Suspicion of Powerful Government.
Only by reaffirming those Founding Principles can we once more become a
people of Principled Action."
