Klappentext

Everything You Know About the Constitution Is Wrong

Uncover the shocking truth about the Constitution's original intent-and how nearly everything Americans believe about it today is wrong.

In Money and Liberty: How the Framers' Obsession with Protecting Your Money Shaped the Constitution, seasoned journalist and speechwriter Rick Lynch tears down the myths of modern constitutional thinking to expose a stunning truth ignored in political history books: The U. S. Constitution was built first and foremost to protect your money-not just your speech, your religion, or your guns. Your property-your paycheck-was the sacred right the Framers most feared the government would steal.

Drawing from the Federalist Papers, Convention records, and the Framers' own words, Lynch presents a bold, evidence-rich reinterpretation of our nation's founding. Diving into the very foundation of American democracy, Money and Liberty delivers a thunderclap of clarity and reveals the real meaning of the Constitution. Learn why the Framers rejected the Bill of Rights, how they saw money as a sacred right, and why they believed economic freedom-not freedom of speech or religion-was the cornerstone of liberty.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Why the Bill of Rights was rejected as a "preposterous" and "dangerous" idea.
• How the Framers equated money and freedom with divine law.
• Why money and property are mentioned in the Federalist Papers 17 times more often than speech, press, and religion combined.
• How a welfare program led to the Constitutional Convention.
• Why protecting property rights was not only the heart of the Constitution-but the key to true liberty.

This is more than constitutional interpretation-it's a call to reclaim your most overlooked freedom: the right to your own money. If you've ever wondered how we got so far off course, Money and Liberty delivers a history lesson on the United States government and American freedom you won't be able to forget.
