The Foundations of American Governmentby David Barton
|
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Great overview, right to the point, December 29, 2005 Reviewer:Veronica L. Burns "vlburns" (New York, NY) - Purchased this transcript and it is a great overview of the true meaning of "separation of church and state". True meaning in the sense that it is not even written in the constitution! David Barton gives a quick overview of where this statement comes from. Because it's a transcript, its a quick read and great to pass along to those who you would like to enlighten on the subject.
Book Description
This transcript of the video by the same title is designed as a tool to demonstrate that the current separation of church and state is something never intended by the Founding Fathers. It not only surveys the historical statements and records surrounding the original drafting of the First Amendment, but also shows what happened statistically when the 1962 Court rejected the Founders' intent. It further shows that the current Court is beginning to return to and uphold many values previously struck down. This transcript gives an overview of the Founders' own understanding of the First Amendment and will be helpful to anyone who desires to know the truth about their interpretations.
About The Author
David Barton is President of WallBuilders, an organization dedicated to the restoration of the values upon which America was built and which, in recent years, have been seriously attacked and undermined. As so accurately stated by George Washington, David believes that "the propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained."
