What was the American government designed to be—and what has it become?
Bring Back the Constitution examines America's constitutional structure through original documents, historical evidence, judicial decisions, public records, and modern government practice.
“We don't tell you what the Founders said.We show you what they wrote.”
Our analysis begins with primary sources. Where historical authorities disagreed, we show the disagreement. Where modern law differs from an earlier constitutional understanding, we document the development.
