Is the United States Constitution the embodiment of certain
principles? The four authors of this book for a variety of reasons,
and with somewhat different emphases, believe the answer is no.
Those who authored the Constitution no doubt all believed in
liberty, equality, and, with caveats, republican self-government
values, or if you will, principles. But they had different
conceptions of those principles and what those principles entailed
for constituting a government. Although the Constitution they
created reflected, in some sense, their principles, the
Constitution itself was a specific list of do's and don'ts that its
creators hoped would gain the allegiance of the newly independent
and sovereign states. And, for somewhat different reasons, the
authors of this book believe that was a good thing.
