Living Constitution

Is the Constitution a living document that needs to evolve with the times? Or should we try to divine the original meaning that our Founding Fathers intended, and hew to that as strictly as possible, as present-day originalists suggest? In The Year of Living Constitutionally, A.J. Jacobs tries to get inside the minds of the Founding Fathers by living as closely as possible to the original meaning of the Constitution.

In this sweepingly ambitious volume, the nation's foremost experts on the American presidency and the US Constitution join together to tell the intertwined stories of how each American president has confronted and shaped the Constitution.

El Cuerpo de Cristo no sólo ha sido constituido con Cristo como su elemento, sino que también está siendo edificado por la transformación en vida. Esta transformación no es meramente un cambio externo, sino un cambio interno y metabólico, y es un proceso.

Thomas Jefferson famously wrote that the earth belongs to the living. His letter to James Madison is often quoted for the proposition that we should not be bound to the "dead hand of the past", suggesting that the constitution should, instead, be interpreted as a living, breathing document. Less well-known is Madison's response, in which he said the improvements made by the dead - including the US Constitution - form a debt against the living who benefit from them.

In this book we explore pre-flood history along with ancient Hebrew history and biblical history that proves our creator truly has granted us inalienable rights which must be guarded. We learn how the founding fathers of the United States based all of their decisions on the gospel of Jesus Christ and biblical principles.
