The first Constitution of the United States of America was the Articles of Confederation and
Perpetual Union. These Articles governed the United States for more than ten years, but were
found to be lacking the needed power to mold the thirteen disorganized colonies into the concept
that our forefathers had envisioned as they fought the American Revolutionary War.
It was necessary to find a different path.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,
insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence (sic), promote the general Welfare,
and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America."
A new Constitution was created. The Constitution for the United States of America
became the law of the land and has served the American citizen for more than two hundred years.
Owensby brings the U.S. Constitution into the twenty-first century as the father-son writing team
explores the path that led to the creation and the adoption of the most significant document in history,
the United States Constitution. The Constitution that has led the United States into becoming the greatest
nation to ever exist, yet there are many who do not know the story of the Constitution and have no idea
of how it is being warped in today's political arena.
