The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution

Book • 2007
In this book, Professor Kevin Gutzman argues that there is a significant disconnect between the original intent of the U.S.

Constitution and the current state of constitutional law.

He explains how the Supreme Court has used the Constitution to impose its own views on issues like abortion, capital punishment, and same-sex marriage, rather than adhering to the plain meaning of the document.

Gutzman discusses how the system has shifted from a republican federal government with limited powers to a highly centralized 'judgeocracy' with limitless powers, and how the Fourteenth Amendment has been misinterpreted to check state power instead of federal power.

He contends that this has led to a radical inconsistency between constitutional law and the rule of law, and advocates for a return to the founding fathers' vision of the Republic.
